No, you are misunderstanding how these work. 'contains' means at least
one entry in an array passes with the subschema. In this case,
'renesas,usb2-phy-r7s9210' must appear somewhere in the 'compatible'
values. (Before, it said *every* entry must be
'renesas,usb2-phy-r7s9210'.) As there is a fallback compatible, we need
'contains'.

No. In this case, 'compatible' is always a single entry, so no
'contains' needed (but would work). If compatible is one of these 3
strings, then the 'if' is true.

The original way would actually work in this case (i.e. is valid
json-schema), but we require 'items' to have a size (maxItems/minItems)
in our meta-schema.
