CLK_IN is only used in dynamic mode and is hence optional.

Re-order the clocks so REF_CLK is specified first.

It's not a compatible change. You can't do that unless you can explain
why it doesn't matter.

Hmm okay. And that rule also applies even if I patch all mainline users?

Explaining why you are doing something and the implications of the
change, yes that's required for every commit. Whether you can make
incompatible changes, that's up to platform maintainers. I only ask
that doing that is documented clearly.

Do you know that every user of affected h/w is okay with you requiring
them update their dtb?
