Actually I already see a problem, let's the ingenic,nand.yaml example.
The goal, IIUC, is to do:

 patternProperties:
   "^nand@[a-f0-9]$":
     type: object
+    $ref: nand-chip.yaml
     properties:

       ...

+    unevaluatedProperties: false

The example in this file uses a property, nand-on-flash-bbt, which is
described inside nand-controller.yaml instead of nand-chip.yaml.
Indeed, the former actually describes many properties which are a bit
more controller related than chip related. With the above description,
the example fails because nand-on-flash-bbt is not allowed (it is not
listed in nand-chip.yaml).

How would you proceed in this case?

Maybe I could move all the NAND chip properties which are somehow
related to NAND controllers (and defined in nand-controller.yaml) in a
dedicated file and reference it from nand-chip.yaml? Any other idea is
welcome.

Thanks, Miquèl
