No, both conditions will be true. If you use 'anyOf', then we're never
really checking the specific compatible.
I think the problem here is trying to mix a common binding (aka an
incomplete collection of properties) and a specific binding. The
former is characterized with 'additionalProperties: true' as we have
here. You need to create a 'panel-simple-lvds.yaml' schema file that
references this one, defines all the 'simple' compatibles, and sets
'unevaluatedProperties: false'.
