It can stay where it is, just add "/$defs/ethernet-ports"

Well, you have to keep it to have 'required' in the child nodes.

So I think you just want this:

ethernet-ports:
  type: object
  additionalProperties: true  # Check if you need this

  patternProperties:
    '^ethernet-port@[12]$':
      required:
        - label
        - phy-mode
        - phy-handle
