  # 'select' is a schema applied to a DT node to determine if this binding
  # schema should be applied to the node. It is optional and by default the
  # possible compatible strings are extracted and used to match.

properties:
  # A dictionary of DT properties for this binding schema
  compatible:
    # More complicated schema can use oneOf (XOR), anyOf (OR), or allOf (AND)
    # to handle different conditions.
    # In this case, it's needed to handle a variable number of values as there
    # isn't another way to express a constraint of the last string value.
    # The boolean schema must be a list of schemas.

          # Must be one of the 1st enums followed by the 2nd enum

      affect the number of interrupts. Otherwise, descriptions on standard
      properties are not necessary.

  # Property names starting with '#' must be quoted

    # A simple case where the value must always be '2'.
    # The core schema handles that this must be a single integer.

    # The core checks this is a boolean, so just have to list it here to be

    # constraints on the possible values.
