This was a discussion about clock controller. You either have these
clocks as input of the clock controller or not. If you have - drop
minItems. If you do not have - trim the list to just two items.

What do you actually write in DTS is of course connected with the
bindings but separate problem. I was not referring to what should be or
should not be in DTS. We talked about clock controller and its inputs.

Best regards,
