Describe the device, not the binding, so wording "This binding" is not
appropriate.

Compatible goes first.

Not a correct schema. What is this "- description" attached to? There is
no items here...

Does not look like proper compatible and your explanation from commit
msg did not help me. What "1" and "2" stand for? Usually compatibles
cannot have some arbitrary properties encoded.

No need for minItems.

No, instead describe actual items with "const". See other examples.
