I don't have preference except: I would suggest using enum if you
already think there will be second variant, because it would save one
re-indent/rewrite of the line.

But in this case of old schema this is unlikely, so really does not
matter for me.

Yeah, these are redundant.

i2c-controller.yaml does not require these I think for a reason - you
could have enabled empty I2C controller node for user space and having
these required without actual children causes dtc W=1 or W=2 warning.

so yeah, I would propose to drop these as well.
