[PATCH] arm64: dts: xilinx: Drop undocumented "always-on" properties

[Rob Herring (Arm)]

The "always-on" properties are not documented for "silabs,si5341"
binding nor used by the Linux driver, so drop them.

Binding
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/silabs,si5341.txt
doesn't contain it
but driver drivers/clk/clk-si5341.c is reading it.

1345                 config[num].always_on =
1346                         of_property_read_bool(child, "always-on");

It is there from 2019 when driver has been added.

If it is not standard clock property it should be moved to standard one.
And DT binding should be converted to yaml with all properties used today.

Thanks,
Michal

Agree - either "always-on" should become a standard property, or it should be 
removed from the driver.

As a standard property, akin to "regulator-always-on", maybe it should 
probably be renamed to "clock-always-on"?

I'd be happy to provide a patch either way.

That's an implied ABI now, so you cannot remove it, but about
"clock-always-on" - it does not look like a property we want in DT. If
on one board this is always connected (but on other not), you should
take the proper clock reference.

Sigh. I checked and missed that. We should just add it to the binding.
