You can drop '^.*'.

This needs to recurse to nested nodes. 

I think here you can do just:
  
$ref: #/

And drop 'compatible' as required. It's redundant anyways because the 
schema will only be applied if compatible matches.

This creates a circular schema which I'm not sure what will happen. If 
that doesn't work, then we'll have to define how many levels we support 
and then do something like this:

$defs:
  partition:
    # everything you have here...

And then here, just:

       $ref: #/$defs/partition
       unevaluatedProperties: false
       patternProperties:
         "@[0-9a-f]+$":
           $ref: #/$defs/partition

And repeat for however many levels we want to nest.

Also, I just added '$def' support to dt-schema last week.

I don't think we support more than 1 entry here, so add 'maxItems: 1'.
