  A more detailed multi-line description of the binding.
 
  Details about the hardware device and any links to datasheets can go here.
 
  Literal blocks are marked with the '|' at the beginning. The end is marked by
  indentation less than the first line of the literal block. Lines also cannot
  begin with a tab character.

select: false
  # 'select' is a schema applied to a DT node to determine if this binding
  # schema should be applied to the node. It is optional and by default the
  # possible compatible strings are extracted and used to match.
 
  # In this case, a 'false' schema will never match.

properties:
  # A dictionary of DT properties for this binding schema
  compatible:
    # More complicated schema can use oneOf (XOR), anyOf (OR), or allOf (AND)
    # to handle different conditions.
    # In this case, it's needed to handle a variable number of values as there
    # isn't another way to express a constraint of the last string value.
    # The boolean schema must be a list of schemas.
    oneOf:
      - items:
          # items is a list of possible values for the property. The number of
          # values is determined by the number of elements in the list.

          # Must be one of the 1st enums followed by the 2nd enum

  reg:
    # The core schema already checks that reg values are numbers, so device
    # specific schema don't need to do those checks.

    # the number of reg entries.

    maxItems: 1
    description: bus clock. A description is only needed for a single item if
      there's something unique to add.
      The items should have a fixed order, so pattern matching names are
      discouraged.

  clock-names:
    # For single-entry lists in clocks, resets etc., the xxx-names often do not
    # bring any value, especially if they copy the IP block name.  In such case
    # just skip the xxx-names.

    items:
      - description: tx or combined interrupt
      - description: rx interrupt
    description:
      A variable number of interrupts warrants a description of what conditions
      affect the number of interrupts. Otherwise, descriptions on standard
      properties are not necessary.
      The items should have a fixed order, so pattern matching names are
      discouraged.

# If the conditionals become too unweldy, then it may be better to just split

# Ideally, the schema should have this line otherwise any other properties
# present are allowed. There's a few common properties such as 'status' and
# 'pinctrl-*' which are added automatically by the tooling.
#
# This can't be used in cases where another schema is referenced
# (i.e. allOf: [{$ref: ...}]).
# If and only if another schema is referenced and arbitrary children nodes can
# appear, "unevaluatedProperties: false" could be used.  A typical example is
# an I2C controller where no name pattern matching for children can be added.
additionalProperties: false

examples:
  # Examples are now compiled with dtc and validated against the schemas
  #
  # Examples have a default #address-cells and #size-cells value of 1. This can
  # be overridden or an appropriate parent bus node should be shown (such as on
  # i2c buses).
  #
  # Any includes used have to be explicitly included. Use 4-space indentation.
