OK, I see two useful cases:

[1]
Documenting purpose in order to clarify
that you are using this property

[2]
You need to explicitly specify ': true'
if you have 'additionalProperties: false' .
Otherwise, the following warning is displayed:
... do not match any of the regexes: 'pinctrl-[0-9]+'



For [1], it is already clear that this binding
is using ngpios from 'require'


require:
  - ngpios

Hmm, I am confused.

'require: - ngpios' will warn if you don't list ngpios.

'additionalProperties: false' will warn if you list
other properties than what is explicitly specified.



BTW, I will not add 'additionalProperties: false'
in this binding.


The real DT files have

 interrupt-parent = <&aidet>;
(arch/arm64/boot/dts/socionext/uniphier-ld20.dtsi line 324)

but, commit 791d3ef2e11100449837dc0b6fe884e60ca3a484
removed interrupt-parent from bindings.
