Well noted.

Thanks, description as below will be added in v2:

"Ambarella SoCs integrates some composite clocks, like uart0, which aggrate the functionality
of the basic clock types, like mux and div."

Ok.

Most Ambarella's compatibles don't contain SoC name, because we prefer
to use syscon + offsets in dts to tell driver the correct register offsets, or
ues struct soc_device and SoC identity stores in a given physical address.

So compatibles like "ambarella,composite-clock" and "ambarella,pinctrl" are
used widely in Ambarella kernels. Feel free to correct me if you think this
is not a good idea.

Ok. I will list all clocks name

Ok

Ok, I will add "maxItems: 1"

Sorry, I forget to run dt_binding_check, I will spend some
time learning the binding and check, sorry for it.

I will add description and $ref to regmap and width/shift.

I didn't understand it well. I will add it to other places in v2,
thanks for pointint out it.

Thanks, I will learn "allOf" and use it in v2. BTW, we use the two compatibles as below:
clocks {
compatible = "ambarella,clkpll-v0";
...
gclk_core: gclk-core {
#clock-cells = <0>;
compatible = "ambarella,pll-clock";
clocks = <&osc>;
clock-output-names = "gclk_core";
amb,clk-regmap = <&rct_syscon 0x000 0x004 0x100 0x104 0x000 0x000>;
};
...
}

I'm not sure can I describe the two compatibles in this single yaml, can you give some advice? thanks!

Ok.

Sorry, I paste the wrong example, I will replace it with our gclk_core pll
instead.
