It's not 'used in all controllers' but used in all devices. But yes, it 
does mean a device node could have any of the properties. 

The schema for the device must have all possible properties in its 
schema either directly or via $ref's. There's not a way to say if the 
parent controller is X, then apply these controller child device 
properties.

Who would apply/$ref this in your schema?

This is the pattern that simply doesn't work. "^.*@[0-9a-f]+$" is 
entirely independent of a device schema and there's not 1 schema that 
has all possible properties.

We could at least limit nodes to allow one set of controller specific 
properties (but not necessarily the correct one):

allOf:
  - $ref: spi-peripheral-props.yaml#
  - oneOf:
      - $ref: samsung,spi-peripheral-props.yaml#
      - $ref: cdns,qspi-nor-peripheral-props.yaml#

And then in each of the above schemas we need:

anyOf:
  - required: [ vendor,prop1 ]
  - required: [ vendor,prop2 ]
  - ... for all the controller specific properties

The last part keeps the vendor specific schema from being true if none 
of the properties are present.

I mean it doesn't have the bug in dtschema preventing 
unevaluatedProperties from fully working correctly.
