It's not an incorrect value. At the point that commit was added, the first reg
was still VDEC_SYS, so an active clock wasn't required. This commit removes the
VDEC_SYS reg, and so the active clock becomes necessary. Splitting it like this
made the most sense to me, and I thought it would also simplify review. But
since it seems to be a problem I'll merge commit 1 with this one in v2 to avoid
changing the number of clocks twice.

No, there's 'maxItems: 12' up above in the general case.
