Ok. I'll also do this for all similar patches in another patchsets.

It partly fixes the problem. There is meta-schems/gpios.yaml ,
which also has a rule for the properties with "-gpios" suffix. So yours
alteration together with the next one shall fix the problem completely:

Regarding the generic schemas/gpio/gpio.yaml . Do you think I should be
also allOf-ing it in my DT schema?

I asked my superviser regarding this. They don't object against using
two licenses for dt-schema files. So I'll update all the schemas I
submit to have dual license header.

If you referring to the original plain text dt bindings file. I don't
really know under what license it was submitted.

Ok. I'll also make sure the lowercased unit-addresses are used in the
rest of the patchsets.

Sub-nodes define the GPIO controller ports, so "^gpio-port@" would be
better. But some available dts-files declares these sub-nodes as
"^gpio-controller@". So in order to have them also compatible we have no
other choice but either to define the property name as
"^gpio-(port|controller)@..." or leave it as suggested in my patch. What
do you think? Anyway to be honest I don't really understand why at all do
we need to have the limitations applied on $nodename . It's just a name
of the node and doesn't participate in any device-driver bindings
or in anything else meaningful.

Ok. I'll remove the whole property from the dt schema. But don't you think
since there is "additionalProperties: false" I should have at least left the
"interrupts-extended: true" declaration?
