Apart from what Grygorii said, it would be useful if you add "if:then:"
case constraining it per implementation (as I understood from commit msg
only some use double mapping).

This looks like:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18-rc2/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/samsung,exynos7885-clock.yaml#L53

Similarly should be done for clocks, unless it's impossible (same
compatible uses different setups of clocks).

BTW, it's a bit confusing it is not a v2...


Best regards,
Krzysztof
