Thanks. Refer to the definition in the example and update the definition as follows:

snps,dwmac.yaml[Partial Content]:

properties:
  resets:
    maxItems: 1
    description:
      MAC Reset signal.

  reset-names:
    const: stmmaceth

allOf:
  - if:
      properties:
        compatible:
          contains:
            const: starfive,jh7110-dwmac

    then:
      properties:
        resets:
          minItems: 2
          maxItems: 2
        reset-names:
          items:
            - const: stmmaceth
            - const: ahb
      required:
        - resets
        - reset-names


starfive,jh7110-dwmac.yaml[Partial Content]:

properties:
  resets:
    items:
      - description: MAC Reset signal.
      - description: AHB Reset signal.

  reset-names:
    items:
      - const: stmmaceth
      - const: ahb

allOf:
  - $ref: snps,dwmac.yaml#

It will also report error "reset-names: ['stmmaceth', 'ahb'] is too long"  running "make dt_binding_check" with 'starfive,jh7110-dwmac.yaml'. Do you have any better suggestions to solve this problem?
