Yes, I was trying to document it better and that way adding/extending 
more streams becomes easier for the next patches in the series.

I tried dropping assigned-clock-parents altogether and it seems fine, No 
schema/errors of warnings if I also fixup the examples in 
qcom,sc7180-mdss.yaml and qcom,sa8775p-mdss.yaml to drop the usage.

So I can go ahead with dropping it.
