This is only required for sc7180? ...or old SoCs should have had it
all along too?

This is a really odd way to write it for two reasons:
* You're breaking up the flow of the list.
* This shouldn't be listed as "optional" in sc7180 but unless there is
some reason to ever provide it on sc7180. It should simply be
disallowed.

Maybe instead just:

The following clocks are required.
- * "bus"
+ * "bus" (anything other than qcom,sc7180-dpu)

We really need to get this into yaml ASAP but that'd probably be OK to
tide us over.

NOTE: when converting to yaml, ideally we'll have a separate file per
SoC to avoid crazy spaghetti, see commit 2a8aa18c1131 ("dt-bindings:
clk: qcom: Fix self-validation, split, and clean cruft") in clk-next
for an example of starting the transition to one yaml per SoC (at
least for anything majorly different).

Is this supposed to be removed from all SoCs using this bindings, or
just yours?

I'll also note that you left it in the "Example:" below.

As Jeffrey pointed out, you shouldn't be removing these from old SoCs.
In "drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi_cfg.c" you can clearly see them used.
Maybe it's time for you to do the yaml conversion and handle this
correctly per-SoC.
