Limited review, to spare you one review cycle, as it was not tested.

Subject: s/YAML/DT schema/

This looks unwrapped (see Linux coding style).

Drop, please do not invent your own syntax. Look at recently reviewed
code or example-schema.

This wasn't in the original binding and lacks explanation in commit msg.
Any change done to the binding must be documented with a reason WHY. If
there is no reason WHY, then maybe you wanted separate commit (although
each commit should explain WHY).

Irrelevant node, drop
