By default, this GPU IP (Series AXE) operates on a single clock (the core
clock), but the SoC vendor can choose at IP integration time to run the memory
and SoC interfaces on separate clocks (mem and sys clocks respectively). We also
have IP, such as the Series 6XT, that requires all 3 clocks.

So the situation here is that Series AXE may have 1 or 3 clocks, but the TI
implementation being added only has 1.

I guess we need to add something like:

  allOf:
    - if:
        properties:
          compatible:
            contains:
              const: ti,am62-gpu
      then:
        properties:
          clocks:
            maxItems: 1

Or should we be doing something else?

Thanks
Frank
