If I remove the minimum and maximum lines, I get this error:

./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml:42:10: [error] empty
value in block mapping (empty-values)
  CHKDT   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/processed-schema-examples.json
/home/damien/Projects/RISCV/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive
,gpio.yaml: properties:ngpios: None is not of type 'object', 'boolean'
  SCHEMA  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/processed-schema-examples.json
/home/damien/Projects/RISCV/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive
,gpio.yaml: ignoring, error in schema: properties: ngpios
warning: no schema found in file:
./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml

If I remove the ngpios property entirely, then I get a hit on the device tree:

  CHECK   arch/riscv/boot/dts/canaan/sipeed_maix_bit.dt.yaml
/linux/arch/riscv/boot/dts/canaan/sipeed_maix_bit.dt.yaml:
gpio-controller@38001000: 'ngpios' does not match any of the regexes: 'pinctrl-
[0-9]+'
	From schema:
/home/damien/Projects/RISCV/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive
,gpio.yaml

Now, If I change the property definition to this:

diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml
b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml
index 2cef18ca737c..5c7865180383 100644
--- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml
+++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml
@@ -40,8 +40,11 @@ properties:
     const: 2
 
   ngpios:
-    minimum: 1
-    maximum: 32
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+    description:
+      The number of GPIO pins implemented by the controller.
+      It is 16 for the SiFive SoCs and 32 for the Canaan K210 SoC.
+
 
   gpio-controller: true

Then all is OK.

Which option should I go for here ? If we want to avoid a dtbs_check error, as
far as I can see, we can:
1) Remove the ngpios property and remove its use from the DTS, which is not
nice in my opinion
2) Use the modification proposed above

Please advise. Thanks !
