Looking into documentation (I promise I did some reading / research to
try to get a stronger understanding of the documentation yaml) I came
across the history of ethernet-controller.yaml which suggests to me that
the pattern:
allOf:
- $ref:
is frowned upon
commit 3d21a4609335: ("dt-bindings: Remove cases of 'allOf' containing a
'$ref'")
I do have a knack for misinterpreting data, but I read that as:
allOf:
- $ref:
shouldn't be used unless there's more than one list entry.
All that aside, I did upgrade from 2022.5 to 2022.9 just now and do see
these dtschema errors now. I'll be sure to use this before resubmitting.

That makes a lot of sense - and helps me understand why I had so much
trouble understanding why it originally was "additionalProperties: true"
I'll obviously take another look at this. The nxp,sja1105.yaml seemed to
be most akin to what the qca8k.yaml needed to be - that is "take
dsa.yaml and add a couple extra properties to the ports nodes". But
there's always subleties.
