Then it should be an input to both the LCDC and LVDSC in the devicetree.

Are you sure? The diagram doesn't show a multiplier, the 7x comment
there seems to be showing relations?

We're talking about bindings here, not drivers, but I would imagine that
if two peripherals are using the same clock then both of them should be
getting a reference to and enabling that clock so that the clock
framework can correctly track the users.

It is not the same exact clock as you pointed out above though, so the
by 7 divider should be modelled.

In isolation, this looks fine.
