Hi Krzysztof,

You are right, my previous reply was not sufficient. Sorry about that.

MT8196 has a fixed set of clock inputs: 9 clocks for the decoder
hardware
and 3 clocks for the VCP interface. By "flexible number of clocks",
I meant that clock control can be split between the kernel driver
and VCP firmware. This is a software implementation detail,
not a hardware or DT binding property. My wording was incorrect.

The binding should not imply that the number of clocks is flexible.
I have updated the commit message to clarify this.

Best regards,
Kyrie
