Just "xin" or entirely drop.

What? If this is percent then it cannot be hundreds of percent. Percent
is percent. Use appropriate units.

Drop, it's obvious, isn't it?

Looks like there are more of them, so I guess the family name is fine?

If you are sure, then yes. Can we add them now? If not, it's also fine.

As Geert mentioned in the other thread, this is a family of products but
the others cannot be added now.

The pin name on the datasheet is "xin-clkin" and as the name implies it
can be a crystal or clock input. If the name were different it could be
confusing.

Values like 0.5% or 2.5% must be representable which is why this
property is an integer of hundredths of percent. How else would you
represent a non-integer percent?

I disagree, this may be obvious to someone familiar with how clocks in
the device tree works but not long ago it was entirely new to me and
examples like these in the dt schemas were very helpful in getting the
device up and running. There are several other bindings that define
external crystals and reference clocks in this way.

It is obvious because it is the same for every device being a consumer
of external clock. There is no point to duplicate non-device related
examples in every device binding.

Krzysztof really means the property should be named e.g.
"renesas,ss-amount-centipercent" instead.

I provided an URL to document with units, so I was hoping Alex will take
a bit of effort to open it. Hundredths of percent sounds like basis
point... If it is not basis point, maybe it could be made such?
