The clocking information is missing from flexcan device tree bindings.
This information is needed to be able to use flexcan. Document the same.

+Clocking information is must for flexcan. please refer below info for
+understanding clocking in flexcan:
+
+• The FLEXCAN module is divided into two blocks. Controller host interface
+ ("CHI") and Protocol Engine ("PE")
+• Both these blocks require clock.
+• CHI is responsible for registers read write including MB read/write.
+ While PE is responsible for Transfer/receive data on CAN bus.
+• The clocks feeding to these two blocks can be synchronous (i.e. same clock)
+ or asynchronous (i.e. separate clocks).
+• Selection is made in the CLK_SRC bit (bit 13) of Control 1 Register.
+ - CLK_SRC = 0, asynchronous i.e. separate clocks for CHI and PE
+ - CLK_SRC = 1, synchronous i.e. CHI clock is used for PE and PE
+ clock is not used.
+• If this bit is not implemented in SOC, then SOC only supports asynchronous
+ clocks.
+• Either of the clock can be generated by any of the clock source.
+• When the two clocks are asynchronous, then following restrictions apply to
+ PE clock.
+ - PE clock must be less than CHI clock.
+• If low jitter is required on CAN bus, dedicated oscillator can be used to
+ provide PE clock, but it must be less than CHI clock.
+
+Base on above information clocking info in flexcan can be defined in two ways:
+
+Method 1(Preferred):
+ - clocks: phandle to the clocks feeding the flexcan. Two can be given:
+ - "ipg": Protocol Engine clock
+ - "per": Controller host interface clock
+ - clock-names: Must contain the clock names described just above.
+
+Method 2(Not Preferred):
+ - clock-frequency : The synchronous clock frequency supplied to both
+ Controller host interface and Protocol Engine
+
Optional properties:
- clock-frequency : The oscillator frequency driving the flexcan device
