OK, changed it to unevaluatedProperties.

Understand, thanks for the details.

Similar property (for RM ranges) also used by the ringacc, I have tried
to standardize us to use: ti,sci-rm-range-* in DT.

I will leave it as it is now for this series and we can simplify it
later with a wider series touching all involved yaml files.

I agree on these.

Sure, for the couple of duplication I have it is manageable without
sacrificing readability.

btw: I have made the similar changes to the k3-pktdma schema.
