You meant "bindings", right?

I don't think it's a good idea to implement that weak binding in the
generic DWC USB3 DT schema. Of course I could have created it under
the allOf conditional schema and stuff. But in that case we would have
needed to support the clock-related vendor-specific peculiarities in
both the generic DWC USB3 DT schema and in the vendor-specific binding
files. That wouldn't be that maintainable. As I see it all the
vendor-specific clock requirements should be reflected in the
glue-node DT schema. The DWC USB3 node binding just declares the
clocks as optional. Moreover the DWC USB3 driver also considers them
as optional.
