H616 and newer expect more than one parent, to accurately represent the
RTC clock tree, but they use the CCU driver instead of this code.

This bug is preventing us from relaxing `maxItems` in the binding for H6
and older SoCs, even if Linux does not use the additional parent clocks.
I want to fix this bug now, to give us the option (if beneficial) of
relaxing the binding in the long-term future.

Regards,
Samuel
