At least the following use-cases need to be supported:

- JH7110: reset-names = "stmmaceth", "ahb";
- JH7110: reset-names = "ahb";
- other:  reset-names = "stmmaceth";

Since this is the schema which gets included later in other bindings,
the property needs to be generic enough to cope with all the above.
[added actual content here for more clarity]

  reset-names:
    minItems: 1
    items:
      - enum: [stmmaceth, ahb]
      - const: ahb

Therefore, only the lower limit (1) is enforced here, while
starfive,jh7110-dwmac.yaml (which PATCH 3 relates to) adds further
constraints (limiting to precisely two items):

    reset-names:
      items:
        - const: stmmaceth
        - const: ahb

I understand the generic binding also allows now specifying 'ahb' twice,
but I'm not sure if there's a convenient way to avoid that (e.g. without
complicating excessively the schema).

Thanks,
Cristian
