Are you setting DT_SCHEMA_FILES? If so, then arm/cpus.yaml (or any
other schema) isn't loaded and used for validation. That schema is the
source of this error.

It is failing in my CI job:
https://gitlab.com/robherring/linux-dt-bindings/-/jobs/405298185

Is dt-schema up to date? Though I can't think of any recent changes
that would impact this. This check has been there a while and I fixed
all the dts files.

Do you see psci.example.dt.yaml getting built?

Shouldn't be. arm/cpus.yaml has been in place for a few cycles now.

You need something like:

patternProperties:
  '^(cluster|cpu)-pd[0-9a-f]+$':
    type: object
    properties:
      ... and then the properties in the child nodes

Note that its going to look weird for the 10th PD with 'cpu-pda'. So
maybe add a '-'.

Normally, we'd have a $ref to power-domain.yaml, but for that to work
here, you'll have to expand the node names ($nodename).

If power-domain.yaml is referenced, then don't need anything else
unless you can define the number of phandles (looks like you can't?).
