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:
