The idea of all of this is to keep leds node as standard as possible. It was asked to add unevaluatedProperties: False but I didn't understood it was needed also for the led nodes. leds/common.yaml have additionalProperties set to true but I guess that is not OK for the final schema and we need something more specific. Looking at the common.yaml schema reg binding is missing so an additional schema is needed. Reg is needed for ethernet LEDs and PHY but I think we should also permit to skip that if the device actually have just one LED. (if this wouldn't complicate the implementation. Maybe some hints from Andrew about this decision?) If we decide that reg is a must, if I understood it correctly we should create something like leds-ethernet.yaml that would reference common and add reg binding? Is it correct? This schema should be laded in leds directory and not in the net/ethernet. Also with setting reg mandatory I will have to fix the regex to require @ in the node name. Also also if we decide for a more specific schema, I guess I can reference that directly in ethernet-phy.yaml and ethernet-controller.yaml with something like: leds: $ref: /schemas/leds/leds-ethernet.yaml# Again thanks for the review and hope you can give some hint/clarification if I got everything right. -- Ansuel
