Am I missing something here? (I know I missed this earlier)
We're in vc5_hdmi_init_resources, which is inherently bcm2711 only.
bcm283x will go through vc4_hdmi_init_resources.

As long as vc4_hdmi_init_resources has left vc4_hdmi->pixel_bvb_clock
at NULL, then the clock framework will be happy to do a nop.

For BCM2711 an old DT would have issues, but, as Maxime has stated, no
binding or upstream DTB has been merged yet, so it can be made
mandatory.
Making it optional drops you back on whatever the firmware might have
set it to, which may be sufficient for some resolutions but not
others.
