Describe here what is this device, what such simple clock controller
represents.

required goes after patternProperties.

"gate-clock@" should be equivalent. However this should be just "clock".

Don't create your own properties.

I suggest to use same property as nvme, so bits.

Then it looks like matrix.

No, come on. This must be false.

Names should be generic, so clock-controller

Drop the label.

Drop label.

That's a new unit address to me. Did I miss a change in DT spec?

reg is after compatible.

Plus, test your patches. This fails testing...

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/devicetree-bindings/patch/20230414181302.986271-2-mmyangfl@gmail.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

Description has been rewritten in v3, to describe the device.

This part of bindings has been (temporarily) removed from this series
since v2, to make it simpler.

'simple' means extended one property at a time with little foresight. In 
the end, 'simple' bindings are never simple. s/simple/generic/ as well.

When we first started the clock binding, we had exactly this. There's 
still bindings for at least some of it. It turned out to be a bad 
idea because it was difficult to get correct and complete. So this 
binding is exactly what we don't want.

Thanks. So in the next version v2, clock-controller are made merely
container of clocks. The real jobs are done by sub clock nodes, so
that clocks, with or without hardware-specific clock types
"compatible", can be declared independently and individually as dt
nodes, instead of hardware clock "controllers" with quite arbitrary
clock identifiers listed under include/dt-bindings/clock/.

No. Write actual drivers and actual bindings for real devices.
