I am sorry didn't reply to this earlier. Yes this is not very clear.

This is required as an extension to the apcs-msm8916.c driver also used
on the qcs404; since it is an extension, the previous definition should
still be applicable.

In the case of the msm8916 the #clock-names property is NOT necessary
(it would be ignored by the driver), so having it should not mean that
we need to have #clocks.

In the case of the qcs404, having clock-names means that we do need to
have #clocks (hence the additional if)

and not quite sure how to word this condition in the bindings..

I am going to post v2 with some updates and if required will post a v3
with more clarifications.
