Oh, I wish this would work! Alas it doesn't. AFAIU the schemas under
the "then" and "else" keywords are considered as separate schemas
and are independently applied to the DT node. As soon as I added the
construction suggested by you the schema evaluation started failing
with error as none of the DT-node properties in the examples are valid:
< ... /snps,dw-umctl2-ddrc.example.dtb: memory-controller@fd070000:
< Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('compatible', 'reg', interrupts', 'interrupt-names', '$nodename' were unexpected)
< ... /snps,dw-umctl2-ddrc.example.dtb: memory-controller@3d400000:
< Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('compatible', 'reg', 'interrupts', 'interrupt-names', 'clocks', 'clock-names', '$nodename' were unexpected)
Any suggestion of how this could be fixed? Perhaps updating the
dtschema tool anyhow? (I failed to find a quick-fix for it) Creating
an additional separate schema with the common properties seems a bit
overkill in this case. On the other hand is there a decent
alternative?
What about accepting what I suggested in this patch? It does permit
additional properties, but we won't need to have a separate schema
with just several common properties.
