Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

This binding is practically empty, so I wonder what's is purpose? Do you
plan to grow it? If this was already explained, sorry for bringing it up
again... :)

Description is obvious, so just "maxItems: 1"

Why do you need these? You are not allowing any children with unit
addresses.

Full path, so "/schemas/input/raspberrypi,sensehat-joystick.yaml#"

The same.

Generic node names please, so "hat".

Could you put compatible and then reg at beginning of properties (before
address/size)? It is more common convention and these are more important
properties.

This does not look like proper interrupt flag. Wrong constant.
