'select: true' should be dropped. It will be applied to any
'thermal-zones' nodes. The generated 'select' will use $nodename if
compatible is not present for the schema.

I tested that putting an error in the example works.

Nevermind, I wasn't thinking that it's a top-level node. If it was a
child node, then you'd want to include it from the parent schemas.
