Do you even need new compatible? Isn't this the same clock from the
hardware point of view?

Put it under allOf. Entire block should be before additionalProperties
(just like in example-schema).

Anyway, I don't think you tested it. Provide a DTS user of this. I don't
think it works and such user would point to mistakes.

Properties should be defined in top-level properties:, not in
allOf:if:then. In allOf:if:then you only narrow them.
