That's what the DT binding doc says [1].

Although, looking at the driver's code and TRM docs, it seems that all
those properties are really irrelevant only to the older Terga20 SoC. So
the binding doc is a bit misleading.

Nevertheless, the binding explicitly says that the properties are
optional, which is correct.

I don't mind to postpone this patch. But again, IIUC, all these
properties are optional, and thus, there is no critical need to verify
them in DT right now, it could be done later on.
