I saw vendor-prefix.yaml says do not add non-vendor prefixes to the list. Since "ncsi" is not a vendor, may I ask what is the suggested replacement for 'ncsi,vlan-mode'? Will 'ncsi-vlan-mode' be fine?

The ftgmac100 it depends on uses a txt document instead of an yaml schema. And I see there is other schemas having the same error, can this be ignored?

And I've got one more question. The ncsi driver does not has its own compatible field, instead, it is enabled by setting the "use-ncsi" property of some specific mac drivers. Though currently only ftgmac100 supports ncsi in upstream kernel, it may be used by other mac drivers in the future. What do you think is a proper way for defining the ncsi schema? Having it in a separate yaml like this patch or add the properties to all the mac yamls that supports yaml? If the former way is preferred, how should the schema be defined without "compatible"?
