There is already a property for thermocouple. Isn't a thermocouple a
temperature sensor? IOW, why new property is needed?

Drop "Boolean property which sets" - it's obvious from the type.

"This is a table" - obvious from the type.

mv-K or nv-uK? Confusing...

There is no table 71 in the bindings... It seems you pasted it from
somewhere.

What do you mean? "Maintain" as allow or keep when building FDT? What's
the problem of using negative numbers here and why it should be part of
bindings?

Instead describe the items with "description" (and maybe constraints)
like here:
