I see. But I think minItems "3" should be included for clocks, right?

I see you point, but this is legacy code (sound/soc/cirrus/ep93xx-i2s.c)
which took these names back in platform data times... I also see that
rather majority of *i2s*.yaml use something "*clk", so maybe it could
be accepted for legacy code?
