Some boards use an external 32khz clock for low-power
mode timing. Make sure the clock is powered on while the chipset
is active.

sorry for the nitpicking, but according to the datasheet [1] it's
32768 Hz. Apart from that i suggest to use a functional name for the
clock like "low_power" or something else, which is more flexible and
future-proof.

It is called LPO (low-power oscillator) in our documentation so my suggestion would be "ext-lpo". The recommended value is 32*1024 Hz, but it is not a must.


Btw this binding needs to be a separate patch, which should go to the
devicetree guys.

Previously I have applied binding documentation changes which the DT
maintainers have acked, that's why I specifically asked to Cc device
tree list. Has something changed?

as long as the changes has been acked this should be okay. I was referring to point 1 in this guideline [1].

Yeah. As happens regularly in requirements management only the requirement is documented and not the motivation behind it.

Arend
