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".

Do not need '|' unless you need to preserve formatting.

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...
