I thought so too but I get:

linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/mantix,mlaf057we51-x.example.dt.yaml: panel@0: reset-gpios: [[4294967295, 29, 1], [4294967295, 24, 1]] is too long
	From schema: /.../linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/mantix,mlaf057we51-x.yaml

It seems to bepossible to *extend* reset-gpios though because when i use
an example like:

            reset-gpios = <&gpio1 29 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                          <&gpio1 24 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

i correctly get

linux/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/mantix,mlaf057we51-x.example.dt.yaml: panel@0: reset-gpios: [[4294967295, 29, 1]] is too short
	From schema: /.../linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/mantix,mlaf057we51-x.yaml
 
so the `minItems: 2` is being picked up. This mens i can add
properties but i can't overwrite the existing `maxItems: 2` - that's why
i was wondering how that is supposed to work (if properties should be
overrideable from common files or not).
