UUIDs are actually a known thing in json-schema with 'format: uuid'. 
The meta-schema will probably reject that, so we'll need to add support 
to dtschema. Maybe it should be a new definition to reference.

This could all be simplified down to just a single property:

arm,ffa-partitions = "12345678-9abc-def0-1234-56789abcdef0", 
	"12345678-9abc-def0-1234-56789abcdef1"
	"12345678-9abc-def0-1234-56789abcdef2";

Obviously, that's not extensible, but do we need it to be?
