There are four dtsi which have clock support in snvs-rtc  including i.mx7s/i.mx8mq/8mm/8mn. So for this patch set, it's better update
i.mx8mX dtsi except i.mx7s.

Yes, for all chips snvs clk management added, snvs clock also has to been add
in snvs_pwrkey dts, but for others legacy chips like i.mx6X which have no snvs
clk management, snvs clock is always on, so no need such clk in snvs_pwrkey
dts either, optional is better.
