Right, even if we don't use it in the driver we should ad it in the
binding because there is an external clock input.

I am not sure to undersatnd your question.
If you asked about the UART used on the other mvebu SoCs then my answer
is: on all the other mvebu SoC until now third party IPs were used. This
one is the first one dedicated to an mevbu SoC and currently only used
on Armada 3700 but I don't know what are the plan for the future mvebu
SoCs.
