I encountered this while supporting a new compatible yes:
mobileye,eyeq5-gem.

But this is more about relaxing unneeded requirements: the previous
bindings said "if you provide a tsu_clk, please provide a tx_clk". That
constraint can be removed as there is no relation inbetween tx_clk and
tsu_clk.

So I'd describe that as a semantic fix of the dt-bindings, that happens
to be useful for our newly introduced compatible.

Or am I mistaken? In any case, I should expand the commit message.

Thanks,
