Hi,
will add it for V2.

I will add the corresponding explanation in V2. 

The 'clock-frequency' property is already supported
by the driver but was not documented in the original txt binding.

This is related to the commit d4d6f03c4fb3: serial: max310x: Try to
get crystal clock rate from property (Author: Andy Shevchenko):
    
    In some configurations, mainly ACPI-based, the clock frequency of
    the device is supplied by very well established 'clock-frequency'
    property. Hence, try to get it from the property at last if no other
    providers are available.

Will fix for V2.

See explanation above about clock-frequency.

If clocks is not provided, than at least 'clock-frequency' must be
provided.

Not really, clock-names is different for example 2 (osc), and example 3
shows that 'clock-frequency' can be used if no clock is provided?
