Hello Rob! I do not think that it is possible to add this property
correctly in to the existing pci-bus.yaml file. As this file is not
prepared for slot properties. And I guess that adding new property at
"random" place is against the idea of schema validation (that validation
procedure accepts only valid DTS files).
