The thought was to call out the error when using device tree and to ignore if using ACPI table. 
We are expecting the clocks to be initialized from the bootloader and to use the _RST method 
(instead of reset_control), when an ACPI table is used.
The problem I thought when making it optional is that an error could go unnoticed when using a 
device tree as well.
