Add device-tree bindings for the RT2800 SOC wifi device found in older
Ralink/Mediatek devices.
Your subject was cut. Probably you wanted something like add "Realtek foo adapter" etc.
Not sure I follow.
Your subject is oddly incomplete.

Why clocks are optional? SoC devices rarely work without a clock.
Before this patchset the code was doing

 25         rt2x00dev->clk = clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL);
 24         if (IS_ERR(rt2x00dev->clk))
 23                 rt2x00dev->clk = NULL;

That's driver. I am asking about hardware. Hardware rarely works without
clock. Just because some driver works is not a really a good proof,
because clock could be enabled by bootloader which would still prove my
point: hardware cannot work without clock.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
