I think this can be made simpler, without oneOf:

  clocks:
    items:
      - description: Functional clock
      - description: System clock
    minItems: 1


and similar for clock-names.

Hmmm, in your previous version I had impression that first clock is not
the same on every flavor. Now it looks the same, so clocks you could
simplify even more:
1. Define full list in main properties (not in allOf) with minItems:1
2. Use maxItems:1, for this "else:" case.

This could greatly reduce amount of code you need and keep the actual
definition of clocks in main properties (not in allOf; allOf are only to
constrain it).

Best regards,
Krzysztof
