No, but the schema says you only have those cases. Are there not any
actual implementations?

Minimally make "<vendor>,<chip>-aclint-mswi" into a schema pattern for
the first entry and perhaps a note to replace with actual strings when
there are some. It's ultimately up to the RiscV maintainers to require
SoC specific compatibles here. Allowing a generic one alone makes that
harder because the schema can't enforce it.
