Do not need '|' unless you need to preserve formatting.

This was not really tested. Missing ref, mixing scalar and array
properties. You want items with enum. And drop default.

Then disallow it for others (allOf:if:then: ...

Most of these properties do not look like hardware properties. Policies
and runtime configuration should not be put into DT. Explain please why
these are board-specific thus suitable for DT.
