I don't know what to do with this patch. Using specific compatibles next
to generic compatible is just wrong, although mistake was probably
allowing generic compatible. The patch does not explain the differences
in interface which would explain why devices are not compatible. In the
same time my advice of separate binding was not followed, because maybe
these devices are compatible? But then it should be expressed...

You have entire commit msg to explain what and why.

So it is required here?

And possible here? I assume with the same clocks? The same for
interconnects - same values are valid?

And clocks are required again?

Eeee? So now all other variants have max 1 clock?

Nope, this wasn't ever tested on real DTS.
