It's a schema that always passes validation. It's purpose here is just
to say you are using this common property for this binding.

Yes, if you change it to a string value for example, it should fail.
(Only if DT_SCHEMA_FILES is not set without my kbuild changes)

You should also add 'additionalProperties: false' at the top level of
