No, that does not look correct. You allow anything as clock input (even
20 clocks, different names, any order). That's not how DT schema should
work and that's not how hardware looks like.

Usually the clock inputs are always there which also you mentioned in
description - "multiple clock inputs". All these clocks should be
expected, unless really the wires (physical wires) can be left disconnected.

Best regards,
