Without this patch, 'make dtbs_check' fails with the following error:
dma-controller@7984000: clock-names:0: 'bam_clk' was expected
        arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/ipq6018-cp01-c1.dt.yaml

dma-controller@7984000: clock-names: Additional items are not allowed
('bam_clk' was unexpected)
        arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/ipq6018-cp01-c1.dt.yaml

which I think is making Rob bot-check fail.

So, I think instead of dropping the patch, let's try and understand
from the 'ipq6018 qce' documentation if the clocks are really
'optional' there for the qce block (as clock properties are not
mentioned in the dts from the very first upstream version). If not, we
can try and fix the 'ipq6018 qce' dts node itself.
