Hi Krzysztof,
thanks for your review.

What is ao?

AO is the Always-On domain on Amlogic SoCs (remains powered in suspend).
I've documented it in the binding description.

+ reg:
+ maxItems: 1
+
+ interrupts:
+ maxItems: 1
+
+ clocks:
+ minItems: 1
+ maxItems: 2
+
+ clock-names:
+ minItems: 1
+ maxItems: 2

Names go here

will do.


+
+required:
+ - compatible
+ - reg
+ - interrupts
+ - clocks
+ - clock-names
+
+unevaluatedProperties: false

This goes before example

will do.


+
+if:

And this in allOf, see example schema or other bindings.

will do.


+ properties:
+ compatible:
+ const: amlogic,i3c-a9

+ properties:
+ clocks:
+ items:
+ - description: APB peripheral clock
+ - description: I3C fast clock
+ clock-names:
+ items:
+ - const: pclk
+ - const: fast_clk

That's just fast

minItems: 1

Will renam to "fast" and updated the driver/DTS accordingly,
and will add minItems: 1


+else:
+ properties:
+ clocks:
+ maxItems: 1
+ clock-names:
+ items:
+ - const: fast_clk

maxItems: 1

will add maxItems: 1

+examples:

+ #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h>
+ #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h>
+
+ i3c@3a7000 {

+
+ - |
+ #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h>
+ #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h>
+
+ i3c@22000 {

Drop, one example is enough.

will delete one.


+ compatible = "amlogic,i3c-ao-a9";
+ reg = <0x22000 0x10000>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 72 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
