Did you not see my previous reply about a common schema? We already
have a common GPIO and hog schema in dtschema. Please add to it
whatever is missing.

My goal is all common schema end up in dtschema, but I haven't pushed
folks to do that yet. Ones I've done are there though. One issue is
what's in dtschema should be GPL/BSD and the existing text bindings
are default GPL, so there's a relicensing exercise. In some cases, the
schema is there but I haven't copied over the descriptions.
