Allowing for absence of both properties is
needed, because there is no default suitable for all boards:

For i.MX8M Mini and Nano, the kernel SoC DTSIs has assigned-clock-rates
that are all achievable in nominal mode. For i.MX8MP, there are some
rates only validated for overdrive mode.

But even for the i.MX8M Mini/Nano boards, we don't know what rates they
may configure at runtime, so it has not been possible so far to infer from
just the device tree what the mode is.

why need two flags? suppose "not set fsl,overdrive-mode" is equal to
fsl,nominal-mode
Conor had the same question on v1[1] and I have addressed this in the commit
message of v2, see above.

In short, there is unfortunately no universally applicable default.
