All the maxItems here repeat the maximum constraint and do nothing.

Since you didn't change the minimum constraint at the top level, your
minItems also do nothing.

Both conditional sections have this, but the original binding doesn't
require these for the thead device. This is a functional change
therefore and shouldn't be in a patch calling itself "generalise for
single ended variants".

FWIW, adding your new compatible shouldn't really be in a patch with
that subject either, it really should say "add support for nuvoton
ma35d1" or something.

Anything that updates the minimum constraint should be done at the top
level of this schema. The conditional section should then tighten the
constraint, in this case that means only having maxItems.

Does this even work when the top level schema thinks clock 2 should be
called axi?

This is just maxItems: 1.
