Please explain what that is in this patch.

You don't need this.

If you add a new compatible, then this should probably be a new schema
doc. Is the 'gpio' property valid in this case as if a clock is the
enable, can you also have a gpio enable? That said, it seems like the
new compatible is only for validating the DT in the driver. You could
just use a clock if present and default to current behavior if not.
It's not the kernel's job to validate DTs.

This says you must have 'compatible = "regulator-fixed",
"regulator-fixed-clock";'.

What you want is:

enum:
  - regulator-fixed
  - regulator-fixed-clock

Need to define how many clocks (maxItems: 1).
