These were Krzk's suggestions:
oneOf:
 - clock-names:
     minItems: 3
     items:
       - a
       - b
       - c
       - d
 - clock-names:
     items:
       - a
       - b
       - d

or maybe:
 - clock-names:
     minItems: 3
     items:
       - a
       - b
       - enum: [c, d]
       - d

Might be making a mess here, but I think that becomes:
  clock-names:
    oneOf:
      - items:
          - const: osc
          - enum:
              - gmac1_rmii_refin
              - gmac1_rgmii_rxin
          - const: i2stx_bclk_ext
          - const: i2stx_lrck_ext
          - const: i2srx_bclk_ext
          - const: i2srx_lrck_ext
          - const: tdm_ext
          - const: mclk_ext

      - items:
          - const: osc
          - const: gmac1_rmii_refin
          - const: gmac1_rgmii_rxin
          - const: i2stx_bclk_ext
          - const: i2stx_lrck_ext
          - const: i2srx_bclk_ext
          - const: i2srx_lrck_ext
          - const: tdm_ext
          - const: mclk_ext
