Hi Geert,

Thank you for the patch.

Some TDA998x variants (e.g. TDA19988) have an OSC_IN pin, to connect
an external oscillator circuit or clock source.

This fixes "make dtbs_check":

This patch can be considered v3 of "[PATCH v2 2/3] [RFC] arm64: dts:
renesas: cat874: Drop bogus clocks property"[1], as the pin is actually
connected to a clock source on that board.  On BeagleBone Black, it is
also connected to a clock source, but not described in DT.

The linux driver does not use this clock directly, but I suspect[2] the
use of this pin is controlled through the AP_ENA register value, as
specified in the second cell of the the audio-ports property.

I wonder if we should add a compatible string for the variants with a
clock pin, to let drivers manage the clock.

If the clock does not need to be controlled, an alternative would be to
drop the clocks property from
arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a774c0-cat874.dts.
