How about this?
max-rx-timeout-ms:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
description:
An optional time value, expressed in milliseconds, representing the
mailbox maximum timeout value for receive channel.
minimum: 1
maximum: 5000
or?
max-rx-timeout-ms:
description:
An optional time value, expressed in milliseconds, representing the
mailbox maximum timeout value for receive channel. The value should
be a non-zero value if set.
Thanks,
Peng.
