Well, you can leave them mixed. It just means that SPI bus properties 
would be allowed in I2C devices. That's okay, but if we can avoid it we 
should.

No, it can't. It can be a single schema for both, but perhaps a separate 
schema doc from the rest.

At a minimum you need an 'items' entry for each length of compatible 
entries and generally an entry for each fallback. So you will have to 
have some duplication.

In cases like imx8mq-kontron-pitx-imx8m.dts, the dts should be fixed 
adding "tcg,tpm_tis-spi". If all the users were just "infineon,slb9670", 
then we'd leave it. So define the schema with what matches existing 
users, but fix users when inconsistent.
