That's what I had :) but then the property gets matched against the
gpio schema and I get complains because it expects a phandle as first
argument... Maybe there's a way I've missed to prevent the property to
be matched with *-gpio ?

I considered that and thought it was a bit of an overkill (and I also
had a bit of troubles identifying how to register only gpio #1, as it
would be identified as gpio #0 if the actual #0 is not registered)

Sure, I tried identifying how to express that with yaml and failed :)

Please note that with the suggestion offline from rob I will add to
the next version:

# If 'maxim,gpio-poc' is present, then 'poc-supply' and 'gpio-controller'
# are not allowed.
if:
required:
- maxim,gpio-poc
then:
allOf:
- not:
required:
- poc-supply
- not:
required:
- gpio-controller

Ah weird! I can add a patch before this one!
