But physically, on which PCB, where is this clock located?

There is no such node as "/clocks" so do not focus on that. That's just
placeholder but useless and it is inconsistent with other cases (e.g.
regulators).

If this is external oscillator then it is not part of RP1 and you cannot
put it inside just to satisfy your drivers.

Describe the hardware. Show the diagram or schematics where is which device.
