I mentioned in the description that clocks and interconnects on this
platform are configured in Firmware VM(over SCMI using power and perf
domains) therefore this is not compatible with existing generic compatible.

Sorry, I missed that. You want me to use 'oneOf' expression with this
compatible?

Will put more details in description.

We are removing clocks from generic required list and enforcing rules
for all compatibles other than sa8255p.

I guess I need to put here the same description as in the cover letter
to make it more clear. We are not using clocks and interconnects in this
platform in Linux. Instead, sending request to Firmware VM over
SCMI(using power and perf protocols)

Explained above.

I will make if block for sa8255p up so else is not applied to rest of
the platforms.

This is tested on SA8255p DTS and I ran DT schema check on SA8775p DT as
well.
