I thought this flag is clear that clk should be managed by driver.
I will update the comment.

From hardware perspective, there is always clk for the remote cores.
So DT describe hardware, a clk property should be there.
But NXP system firmware manages the CLK automatically, no need
driver to do that. So this flag is required here.
