git grep multipleOf:

e.g.
oneOf:
 - minimum: 45
   maximum: ...
   multipleOf: 45
 - minimum: 1500
   maximum: ...
   multipleOf: 250

If this is the only, *only* difference, then just go with vendor
property matching register value... but oh, wait, how person reading and
writing the DTS would understand if "0x2" means 90 ps or 1750 ps? I
don't see how the original binding was helping here in total. Just
moving the burden from driver developer to DTS developer. :/

If different instances are not the same, means the devices are not the
same, so two compatibles seem reasonable.
