Thanks for the pointer to good example, that is useful! So if we take
one random binding matching
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/qcom,*.yaml and that contains
the "reg-names" string, we see:

  reg:
    items:
      - description: LPASS qdsp6ss register
      - description: LPASS top-cc register

  reg-names:
    items:
      - const: qdsp6ss
      - const: top_cc

I don't understand one thing; this doesn't tell you:

   You can provide 2 MMIO blocks, which must be qdsp6ss and top_cc.

But it tells you:

   Block zero must be qdsp6ss.
   Block one must be top_cc.

If we do that I do not get the point of reg-names; we put more
information in our devicetree that is in any case imposed.

This is why I went with a different approach looking like:

  reg:
    minItems: 2
    maxItems: 2
  reg-names:
    minItems: 2
    maxItems: 2
    items:
      enum: [ d0, d1 ]

I know this is not perfect, but at least you don't enforce an order for
no reason. If "items: const..." approach should be taken, then I'll
remove reg-names which bring no benefit.

Thanks Krzysztof,
