The former would simplify the driver, but would also make it
impossible to spot mistakes in DT, which would ultimately surface out
as very hard to debug bugs (likely complete system lockups).

For qcom_smmuv2, I believe we're eventually going to end up with
platform-specific quirks anyway, so specifying the clocks too wouldn't
hurt. Given that, I'd recommend sticking to the latter, i.e. what this
patch does.

Best regards,
