Hi Robin,

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree.
But DT binding describes the H/W. Our SoC, mention about Event interrupt.
That is the reason I have documented it.

I am ok for keeping it or removing it. Please let me know.

Initially GPU was not working on our platform. Then after debugging found that it needs, bus clock
to make it work. This information is missing in dt binding and I need to find this info from source code.

That is the reason, even if it is optional, I have documented with same name here.
