It was not copied from another binding.

It was my attempt to model the valid clock combinations.

> I gave you the close-to-exact syntax I expect. It was nothing like this.

clocks:
  minItems: 1
  maxItems: 3


clock-names:
  minItems: 1
  maxItems: 3
  items:
    enum:
      - mclk
      - bclk
      - eclk

The enum version does not enforce the positional relationship between 
clocks and clock-names,

which is why I tried the oneOf approach.

My concern with the suggested syntax is that mclk is not mandatory for 
all platforms.

For example, HAWI only requires bclk and does not use mclk, so requiring 
mclk as the first clock-name would reject valid DTs.

Is there a preferred binding pattern for expressing optional mclk while 
still preserving the positional mapping between clocks and clock-names?

can you please suggest better approach to fix this if any.
