Right. There's some value of listing which common properties you are
using as well.

A panel below a SPI controller would have all its SPI-specific properties
covered by spi-controller.yaml, I believe? So maybe "additionalProperties:
false" would work?

No. Because spi-controller.yaml is evaluated on the SPI host node and
this one is evaluated on the SPI slave. There's some work to address
this, but it means every SPI slave will have to reference a SPI device
schema. The bigger issue here is SPI controller specific device
properties. So for this case, we'll have to use unevaluatedProperties.

Thank you for the clarification.

In any case, if I use "additionalProperties: false", "make dt_binding_check"
complains that my example's "spi-max-frequency" property is not covered. So
maybe you are right.

We moved to #opendingux on Libera.
