Sorry, I misunderstood your meaning.
To be honest, I'm not quite familiar with the usage of the select property.
When should we use the select property?
May I ask, is there a document to detail introduce each property and
its usage like the device-tree spec?
I think it would be very helpful for beginners writing correct
dt-binding and it can save much reviewers time.
Thanks for your kind explanation, I'll fix it in v3.

OK, it should be as follows, right?

+properties:
+  compatible:
+    oneOf:
+      - items:
+          - const: sifive,pl2cache0
+          - const: sifive,pl2cache1
+          - const: cache
+      - items:
+          - const: sifive,pl2cache1
+          - const: cache

I'll fix it in v3. Thanks.

OK, I'll add "sifive,perfmon-counters" property in v3.
Thanks for your kind review.
