Not how common properties work. Consumer properties should be in a 
schema with 'select: true' (the one you are referencing) and here you 
just need to define the entries. Like clocks, power-domains, etc.

Why is this variable and what is each entry?

I still don't like the naming. Everything is a feature and a domain... 

It might be a bit easier to come up with a name with multiple users of 
this binding presented. I'm hesistant to define any new common binding 
with only 1 user as I've said multiple times on this binding.
