I see what you saying. I will move the "clocks" entry to the "mandatory" 
section. Please keep in mind that it will not be currently enforced by 
the SW. For USB 3.0 case the clock parameters are actually defined by 
SERDES configuration, which has a separate DTS entry.

Got it. I will change the code for using the regulator framework in USB 
driver.

Thank you for the tip! i will definitely try this. Unfortunately I am 
not yet fluent in all the available DM APIs.
