Well, this trips up the tools pretty good...

This seems to be the source of a lot of the warnings, but I'm not sure
why exactly. I'll investigate.

Or you can use 'additionalProperties' to match on anything that doesn't
have an explicit match. More below.

This allows pretty much anything. If that's what you want/need,
use 'additionalProperties':

additionalProperties:
type: object
properties:
st,pins:
...

> + type: object

> +

Did you mean for this to really be a pattern? No '$' on the end, so this
is equivalent to '^st,pins.*$'. Actual driver and dts files indicate
this is not a pattern, but a fixed node name of 'st,pins'.

This is where I was expecting the tools to get hung up as this will
match practically any property. The way things work now is we extract
property types from all the schemas. This is a flat list, so property
names and types are global. That list is then used to decode the
dtb before validation. There's some heuristics for dealing with multiple
types for the same property name.

To support this binding, I think we're going to need some sort of
conditional information to use. For this case, the node name might work.
I'll have to investigate this some.

The other option is just drop this for now and put an
'additionalProperties: true' with a note.
