Yeah, the schemas multi-layering thing is pretty difficult to get used

So you have multiple things here you can do.
Like I said, the schemas are all run as some kind of layers, and each
schema must validate, so you'll want to make a schema that will
validate only what's it supposed to be validating.
Let's use your SPI panel as an example. The SPI controller schema has
a description of what a controller is supposed to look like, and the
properties that are useful to that controller in the devices (things
like the chip-select number, phase settings, etc).
However, at the controller level, you have no idea what devices are
connected, and thus you cannot limit the number of properties a child
is going to have.
The second layer that comes in is the device binding itself. Here,
you'll know what the device itself needs, but you don't really care
about the SPI controller setting itself, since you could have pretty
much each combination in various DTs.
The main property to restrict the allowed properties is
additionalProperties, and setting it to false will raise an error for
each property encountered that isn't part of the *current*
schema. This means that we can't set it for the spi controller
binding, and we would need to duplicate the list of all the generic
SPI properties in each and every binding to avoid spurious error
messages: this is not really ideal, but some (early) schemas are doing
this.
The next spec of the schema language introduces a new property though
that is unevaluatedProperties, which works pretty much like
additionalProperties, but will emit an error only if no schema defines
it. Like I said, the library implementing the schema validation logic
doesn't implement that new spec yet, but the tools allow that property
to be set (but it's ignored). It would be best to simply use
unevaluatedProperties in your panel patch, and when the tools will be
updated you'll get the behaviour you want.
