I guess this is mainly a problem of the overlay thing.
Also it does not change with or without the "-@" option to dtc.

So I guess the main thing seems to be that overlays and the whole
checks don't seem to be well-trodden paths yet.

When I checked, my "workaround" the check was silent, but I guess I
need to update the schema python module again and would get that
rabbit hole you went down.

But yes definitly. Especially with those follow up problems you
encountered, this makes it a problem to solve in the checker.

So the original layout is the best one to represent the endpoint and
I guess with the parent node being named "__overlay__" it should be
somewhat ok for the checker going "nah, it'll be fine - we're an overlay"
