In perfect world, the bindings describe the hardware and if hardware
requires supply or clock to operate, then it should be required in the
binding. If some other DTS do not validate - their problem...

In practice, we make tradeoffs. But is it the case here? The binding was
always requiring supplies and clocks, so there is no reason to make
supplies optional. Unless you know the device and they are really optional.
