Instead of having a single description like this, you can create an
items list with two descriptions, one for each interrupt.

I am not a fan of properties like this one, that in my view reimplement
things that are supported by the regular clocks properties. I've got
some questions for you so I can understand whether or not this custom
property is required.

Whether or not the ext-clk or xtal is used is known based on
clock-names - why is the custom property required to determine that?
If neither of those clocks are present, then the internal clock would be
used. Choosing to use the internal clock if an external one is provided
sounds to me like a software policy decision made by the operating
system.

Finally, if the ADC has a clock output, why can that not be represented
by making the ADC a clock-controller?

Cheers,
Conor.
