Hi Rob,

If a property has an 'items' list, then a 'minItems' or 'maxItems' with the
same size as the list is redundant and can be dropped. Note that is DT
schema specific behavior and not standard json-schema behavior. The tooling
will fixup the final schema adding any unspecified minItems/maxItems.

This condition is partially checked with the meta-schema already, but
only if both 'minItems' and 'maxItems' are equal to the 'items' length.
An improved meta-schema is pending.

While resolving the conflict with commit fea99822914039c6
("dt-bindings: net: document ptp_ref clk in dwmac") in soc/for-next,
I noticed the following construct for clock-names:

  clock-names:
    minItems: 3
    maxItems: 6
    contains:
      enum:
        - stmmaceth
        - mac-clk-tx
        - mac-clk-rx
        - ethstp
        - eth-ck
        - ptp_ref

Should this use items instead of enum, and drop maxItems, or is this
a valid construct to support specifying the clocks in random order?
If the latter, it does mean that the order of clock-names may not
match the order of the clock descriptions.
