Bindings should be about hardware. Please drop "driver". "Subsystem"
also sounds like Linuxism.

What do you want to express here? ipq4019 is not qca. This is Qualcomm
(so qcom) SoC.

You need to describe the items, so:
items:
 - description: foo
 - description: foo
 - description: foo

You need to list items instead.

You need to list items instead.

You need to list items instead.

Drop clock-names, useless for one entry.

That's a bit odd property. Where is it defined?
