unevaluatedProperties doesn't work with child node schemas (from one
or both schemas). This is because the schemas are applied
independently and can't 'see' each other. The spi-controller.yaml
schema is applied to the SPI bus node and SPI peripheral schemas are
applied to SPI device nodes. This means that child node schemas have
to either be complete or only list properties which will be listed in
the complete schema for the child nodes. For example, 'reg' has to be
listed anyways to define how many entries. This is also why we need a
ref at each level in the graph binding anytime there are additional
properties defined.
