The extra space was introduced to satisfy `yamllint`'s "too few spaces 
before comment" warning, which requires two spaces before an inline `#`. 
Since this is an unrelated change that pollutes the diff, I will revert 
it to the original single-space form.

Understood. I will remove the `items:` description list from the 
top-level `clocks:` and keep only `minItems`/`maxItems`. The per-variant 
items descriptions will be moved into the allOf/if blocks.

Understood. I will restore the top-level `clock-names` and `reset-names` 
items lists and add `minItems` to each. The per-variant allOf blocks 
will only carry `minItems`/`maxItems`.

Understood. I will add `minItems: 3` to `reset-names` in the 
thead,th1520-dc8200 block.

Understood. I will add `maxItems: 1` to `reset-names` in the nuvoton block.

Understood. I will revert to `additionalProperties: false` as in the 
original binding.

Many thanks!
