Do you mean I need to separately submit this patch for dtschema repo?

Would definitions be needed if some schemas want to refer the base graph 
schema? Or is it like they can just directly include the base schema and 
definitions are not really required?

But what if they want to extend few properties. For example:

graph.yaml
----------
endpoint {
     remote-endpoint = <>;
};

*audio-graph-card.yaml
----------------------
endpoint {
     remote-endpoint = <>;

     property-x;
     node-x {
         ...
     };
};

I think currently audio-graph allows few properties at port/ports. I am 
not sure if Morimoto-san has plans to get rid of this.
