Document the assigned-clock-parents better for the DP controller node
to indicate its functionality better.

You change the clocks entirely, not "document". I would say that's an
ABI break if it really is a Linux requirement. You could avoid any
problems by just dropping the property from binding.

But if you take a look at the existing usage, the proposed change
matches the behaviour. So, I'd say, it's really a change that makes
documentation follow the actual hardware.

First, this should be in the commit msg, instead of "document better to
indicate functionality better".

Second, what is the point of documenting it in the first place if you
can change it and changing has no impact? So maybe just drop?

Best regards,

So, do you suggest setting both of the property descriptions to true? Or
dropping them completely and using unevaluatedProperties instead of
additionalProperties?
