Yes.

I was not thinking about driver, although it's nice that my review
helped in that. What I was mentioning, is your bindings behave correctly
for mediatek,mt8195-gce DTS? You have maxItems:1 and maxItems:2, so
usually it was failing, AFAIR.

The same with clock-names - I think the schema should fail here.

All this sounds a bit unrelated to the bindings. Anyway, gce for one
case and gce0+gce1 for other, are okay, although schema looks a bit more
complicated. See for example:
