OK. Thinking about it ;-)

Given how about all clocks but fck are optional, it's a bit hard
to handle this in a perfect way.
Note that "pattern: '^dclkin\.[0123]$'" in renesas,du.yaml has the same issue.

Right. But when fixing the first to "fck", you have to duplicate all others.
So it should become something like:

  - const: fck
  - enum: [ media, lclk, hdmi, video ]
  - enum: [ media, lclk, hdmi, video ]
  - enum: [ media, lclk, hdmi, video ]
  - enum: [ media, lclk, hdmi, video ]

It does not depend solely on the SoC, but also on the LCDC instance.
port@1 is not available on R-Mobile A1 LCDC0, only on LCDC1.
