Is it required for the TCON itself to operate, or does the TCON
requires the TCON TOP, which in turn requires that clock to be
functional?

I find it quite odd to have a clock that isn't meant for a particular
device to actually be wired to another device. I'm not saying this
isn't the case, but it would be a first.
