Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The `clock-names` schema definition incorrectly restricts the array to a maximum of 2 items and allows duplicate clock names. While the commit correctly updates `clocks` to allow `maxItems: 3`, it only modifies the second element of the `items` array for `clock-names`. In `dt-schema` (based on JSON Schema), defining `items` as an array of schemas implicitly limits the maximum number of items to the length of that array (because `additionalItems` is implicitly false). As a result, a device tree specifying 3 clocks will fail `dt_binding_check` validation. Additionally, adding `refclk` to the second element's `enum` creates a logic error, permitting redundant sequences such as `clock-names = "refclk", "refclk";`.

dt-bindings: phy: cadence-torrent: Update property values to support 3 clocks

This commit updates the Cadence Torrent PHY device tree binding to support up
to 3 clocks. It increases the maxItems of the clocks property and updates the
clock-names property.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this fail schema validation when a device tree specifies 3 clocks? 

Because the items sequence for clock-names only defines two elements, it
implicitly restricts the array to a maximum of 2 items. Even though the clocks
property was updated to maxItems: 3 above, the clock-names array is now
mismatched and will reject 3 items during dt_binding_check.

Also, does this unintentionally allow duplicate clock names? Adding refclk to
the second element's enum makes it possible to define a redundant sequence
like clock-names = "refclk", "refclk".
