I would like to clarify a point with you related to the top-level 
constraints, as I think I have not asked this exact question earlier.

For these top-level constraints in qcom,spmi-vadc.yaml:

     reg:
       maxItems: 1

     interrupts:
       maxItems: 1

If we add ADC5 Gen3 bindings in the same file, is it acceptable to 
update the top-level constraints to something like this:

     reg:
       minItems: 1
       maxItems: 2

     interrupts:
       minItems: 1
       maxItems: 2

followed by updating maxItems back to 1 for all the earlier existing 
compatibles, using if:then: conditions, like the below example?

   - if:
       properties:
         compatible:
           contains:
             const: qcom,spmi-adc5

     then:
       properties:
         reg:
           maxItems: 1
         interrupts:
           maxItems: 1


If this is acceptable, I'll add ADC5 Gen3 bindings in the same file with 
changes like the above, else I'll add them in a new file after first 
creating a common schema file as you suggested.

Thanks,
Jishnu
