Please explain with clear words: do you mean that existing upstream
Linux driver has it? I don't care about some out of tree drivers...

Please open the datasheet of your product and add properties matching
the hardware, not driver.

I don't know what to say more except the same - you want to enable clock
provided from this device on some pin to some other devices? If yes,
then this is clock-provider, so you clock-provider bindings I mentioned
in my first reply.

Best regards,
