This is the correct solution to your problem. The clocks and clock-names
properties should have been there from the beginning but apparently this
has been missed in review. Also see below.

This is a backwards compatible change. On DTBs without clocks and
clock-names properties the PLL tables simply won't be registered which
is exactly the same behavior we have now without any tables in the
driver at all.

Please update the dts instead, in the way you pointed above.
