Do you have any suggestions to deal with this situation?

The solution is not to affect all schemas with allowing anything as reset.

If you need more items for your case, you can change snps,dwmac.yaml and
add constraints in allOf:if:then: allowing it only for your compatible.
There are plenty of examples how this is done, e.g.:
