Is that any different than a binding that would have properties: compatible: items: enum: - foo,bar - foo,baz const: foo,base and a device tree that would set compatible = "foo,base"; ? This type of binding is very common, and I haven't heard anyone complaining that the resulting validation error is an issue. > We really have two solutions: > > - Either we merge all the panel-lvds schemas in one, > > - Or we have this. > > The first was shot down, only the latter remains. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
