I think the clk driver [1] is in good shape but it has not been reviewed
by the clk maintainer yet. Thus it is hard to predict any timeline for
it getting merged.
SPI support doesn't require any driver changes so I'd be inclined to
allow the fixed clock in this case. It will be simple to change it over
to a real clock once the clk driver is upstream.
