s/an entry list/a clock specifier/
s/for entries/for each entry/

So the IP block has 3 input clocks, and also a mux to select which one
to use? That sounds slightly unusual, but possible.

If there is really only 1 clock input to the IP block, and the mux is
part of some other module, then this binding should have only 1 entry in
clocks.

I still don't believe that multiple pinctrl states active at once is
something that the pinctrl bindings conceptually support. CC+=LinusW, do
we want to allow this?

Assuming this is allowed, you'd want to write something more like the
following:

pinctrl-names: Must include "chN-active" and "chN-idle" for each channel
ID N in range 0..7.
pinctrl-NNN: One property must exist for each entry in pinctrl-names.
See ../pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt for details of the property values.
