Add missing minItems property to clocks in ARM pl022 bindings.

This also helps in resolving below dtc warnings:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/amd/amd-overdrive.dt.yaml: spi@e1020000: clocks: [[4]] is too short
From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-pl022.yaml
arch/arm64/boot/dts/amd/amd-overdrive.dt.yaml: spi@e1020000: clock-names: ['apb_pclk'] is too short
From schema: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-pl022.yaml

Who says that minItems is missing? Looking at the PL022 TRM[1] it seems clear that SSPCLK is pretty fundamental to useful operation. If that DT ever worked, it must be that the same clock is wired to both inputs, and the fact that that's how the neighbouring PL011 is described is strongly suggestive.

If the point of schema is to find errors in DTs, doesn't it make more sense to fix the DTs than to weaken the schema just to shut it up?

Of course in this particular case there's also the question of whether the most humane way to "fix" the Seattle DTs is to simply delete them, but that's orthogonal.

Robin.
