Maybe. At the moment we have this in TI's tree for DRA7:
gpu: gpu@56000000 {
compatible = "ti,dra7-sgx544", "img,sgx544";
reg = <0x56000000 0x10000>;
reg-names = "gpu_ocp_base";
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 16 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
ti,hwmods = "gpu";
clocks = <&l3_iclk_div>, <&gpu_core_gclk_mux>,
<&gpu_hyd_gclk_mux>;
clock-names = "iclk", "fclk1", "fclk2";
};

I just get uneasy when adding DT data that we're not really sure if it's
ok or not. I've been fighting with such data for ages. But, as you say,
this probably won't matter if the driver will just reject DT data that
doesn't have all the details.
If we need the DT node to idle SGX, and we don't even mean to actually
use an SGX driver with this data, it sounds fine to me.
