This says you have up to 4 clocks, but only defines the 1st 2:

maxItems: 4
items:
  - description: 1st clock
  - description: 2nd clock

But I think you will be better off with just defining the range
(minItems/maxItems) at the top level and then use if/then schemas.

Is this really 2 different 32k clock inputs to the h/w block? Doesn't
seem like it given both are never valid.

Probably so.
