I found out what's going on here:
- I built these patches against the net-next tree (including dt_binding_check)
- and against linux-next (also including dt_binding_check)

Your tree contains commit f22531438ff42c ("dt-bindings: net: dwmac:
increase 'maxItems' for 'clocks', 'clock-names' properties") [0].
The net-next tree doesn't have that commit but linux-next does.
So when I run dt_binding_check with this series applied on top of
linux-next all warnings/errors are gone.
However when I run dt_binding_check with this series applied on top of
net-next I get the same errors as you.
The reason is that the additional patch in your tree increases the
maximum number of clocks from three to five. With this patch the
Amlogic DWMAC glue needs (up to) four clock inputs.

I have to re-send this series anyways due to a bug in another patch.
Please let me know how to make your bot happy when when I re-send the patches.


Thank you!
Martin
