Is this needed?

https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/master/schemas/clock/clock.yaml
This standardizes provider properties like '#clock-cells' etc, allowing
you to add more stricter checks or controls in the future if necessary.

while:

https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/master/meta-schemas/clocks.yaml
is more a consumer node description.

Should I have picked a different yaml as base for a standard clock-controller
base?

Thinking again, I think your comment was to drop the clock.yaml
inclusion, and, as a result this schema can become more stringent..

Could you clarify?

+description: |

Is this nodename pattern check required?

I'd like the definition on rails and not subject to interpretation, and
restrict the kind of subnodes under TISCI controller node.

I thought most things keyed off the compatible string.

Yes, they are. I am not sure I understand your question here. Did you
mean to indicate that having $nodename and compatible both are
redundant?

Redundancy was'nt the intent of this schema definition, rather, I'd like
to make sure that it is not upto interpretation or debate as to what the
node name should be: I believe clock-controller is the correct nodename
(without @0x... since this does'nt use reg property) instead of using
clocks, tisci-clock as the node names.


Do you suggest something  different?
