The binding doc in mainline says:

  clocks:
    items:
      - description: AXI/master interface clock
      - description: GPU core clock
      - description: Shader clock (only required if GPU has feature PIPE_3D)
      - description: AHB/slave interface clock (only required if GPU can gate slave interface independently)
    minItems: 1
    maxItems: 4

  clock-names:
    items:
      enum: [ bus, core, shader, reg ]
    minItems: 1
    maxItems: 4

which looks correct to me - and means that Dove is compliant with that.
