I understand. It should be placed in parallel with enum.

item:
   - enum:
       - ...
       - ...
   - const: socionext,uniphier-soc-glue

So currently drop it.

OK. Some properties are applied for a few compatibles, so I think it is
available to use "else:".

allOf:
   - if:
       ...
     else:
       patternProperties:
         ...: false
