required:

If you want an example, see spi-peripheral-props.yaml and the change 
that introduced it.

If properties are defined in multiple locations, we have to be able to 
combine all those schemas to a single (logical, not single file) schema 
to apply it. That's the only way all the disjoint properties can be 
evaluated.

Yes, I guess. There's not really any advantage to doing that. A separate 
schema file is only a small amount of boilerplate.

'$defs' is preferred over 'definitions'.

That's the default.

Drop this.

This needs to be false. And this should work as the $ref issue is only 
for the top-level schema.
