That is certainly a problem. Don't define the same property more than
once. Not yet checked and enforced by the tools, but it will be.

Can work, but no. Common properties need to go into a schema of common
properties which the device specific schemas reference.

I don't know what you mean by dynamically, but that's not the criteria
for which to use.
