What do you suggest on this set? I think this is the only outstanding
issue, and Jakub brought up the possibility of applying end of today
(maybe 5-6 hours from now in the US).

It seems like there's an issue with the dt_bindings_check that causes
the "allOf: $ref" to throw a warning when it shouldn't. So removing the
"type: object" was supposed to be correct, but throws warnings.

It seems like keeping this patch as-is and updating it when the check
gets fixed might be an acceptable path, but I'd understand if you
disagree and prefer a resubmission.
