There is no official Wiegand datasheet out there. I can include the summary of
some proprietary documents about Wiegand, like the commit message of the second
commit in the series.

I see.. the bus should really only allow one device to be connected.
That means, there is no need to define anything else in this file, right?
I will explicitely mention it in the Description and I will add the

unevaluatedPropertied:
  type: object

to the wiegand-gpio.yaml file so that adding a child node is allowed.
