Well received. Will wrap at 75 instead of 80 for commit messages.

Well received. I followed the older style and will adopt the modern approach:

properties:
  compatible:
    items:
      - enum:
          - fdhisi,fd628
          - princeton,pt6964
          - wxicore,aip1628
          - wxicore,aip1618
          - fdhisi,fd650
          - wxicore,aip650
          - fdhisi,fd620
          - fdhisi,fd655
          - fdhisi,fd6551
          - titanmec,tm1620
          - titanmec,tm1638
          - winrise,hbs658
      - enum:
          - titanmec,tm1628
          - titanmec,tm1618
          - titanmec,tm1650
    minItems: 1
    maxItems: 2

Fallback relationships will be documented explicitly in the binding’s description.

Display integrates with the LED subsystem (/sys/class/leds), where label is
a standard property per leds/common.yaml. It ensures predictable LED class
device naming when multiple display instances are present, following established
LED subsystem conventions rather than general DT naming rules.

If helpful, I can add a $ref to /schemas/leds/common.yaml#/properties/label
or include its description explicitly.

Well received. I will replace the individual references with:

allOf:
  - $ref: /schemas/input/input.yaml#
  - $ref: /schemas/input/matrix-keymap.yaml#
