IMHO AR9132 SoC can't work without external oscilator.
Can we just move basic extosc declaration to SoC dt file (ar9132.dtsi)?
So board dt file ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts will contain only oscilator
clock frequency value.
E.g.
ar9132.dtsi:
============
extosc: oscillator {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <40000000>;
};
...
ahb {
apb {
...
pll-controller@18050000 {
...
clocks = <&extosc>;
...
ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts:
==========================
...
&extosc {
clock-frequency = <40000000>;
};
--?

I would prefer to keep the split between the files in sync with the
hardware. I understand that most simple board designs use a fixed
oscillator, but that might not always be the case.

The AR9132 SoC __always__ use one external oscilator. So it's reasonable
to have the first mention of extosc in ar9132.dtsi not in a board file.
This description style is always sync with hardware.
On the other hand pll-controller is always part of the SoC
not a part of a board. So pll-controller on extosc dependency
have to go to SoC dts file not to a board file. In your dts description
pll-controller is a part of a dts board file.
It looks like my previous device tree structure proposal contains a small error
(extra clock-frequency field in ar9132.dtsi). I have fixed it. Please comment it.
ar9132.dtsi:
============
extosc: oscillator {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
};
...
ahb {
apb {
...
pll-controller@18050000 {
...
clocks = <&extosc>;
...
ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts:
==========================
...
&extosc {
clock-frequency = <40000000>;
};

Yes, but what I don't like is to impose the clock source being a
fixed-oscillator. What if the board use a clock from another
component that need to be represented in the DT as something else
than a fixed-oscillator?

In your proposal it wouldn't as the AR9132 doesn't have a
fixed-oscillator on chip. So boards using another type of clock would
still have that fixed-oscillator hanging around.

The PLL controller shows up in the board DTS as the connection between
the SoC and the other components on boards has to be represented. We
could use a label and reference it in the board file but that is the
same in the end.
But that's not really the point, more important is the fact that DTS
don't allow to delete nodes. This mean that DTSI should really not
start to define more than is strictly needed.

The absolute majority of the ar9132-based boards has fixed-oscillator
(Actually I suppose all of them has fixed oscillator).
If some board has different clock source then we can completely alter
extosc node in the board dts file. (But I have some doubts in existence
of such board.)
