The only actual use of this part, until now, was to filter the output of the following part:
https://www.analog.com/en/products/adf5610.html
This is the reason of using the clock framework in the driver. Moreover, the clock input is
optional inside the driver.

Indeed, this property was requested by the users of the application in which this part was involved.
Same goes for the filter modes and the bandwidth in the ABI documentation.

If you think these attributes/properties are way too custom, I can drop them.

Let me know your thoughts.
