The fact that clocks are optional for a driver doesn't mean they are
optional for the binding. Now they could be optional because you have
power-domains and all clock management is done within the power domain
(though that too is driver specifics leaking into the binding because
power domain has come to mean power management domain).

"required" is still appropriate here because it is "if you have
optional clocks, then it is required if gpu has PIPE_3D").
