Got it. Thanks. On a second thought specifying maxItems: 32 would be
more descriptive.

Hm, why do you refer to the cdns,qspi-nor-peripheral-props.yaml and
samsung,spi-peripheral-props.yaml schema from the common
spi-peripheral-props.yaml schema? In that case you permit having the
vendor-specific properties used in all controllers. It doesn't seem
right. Isn't it would be more natural to create a generic-to-private
hierarchy? Like this:

> spi-peripheral-props.yaml:
+ properties:
+ ...

> cdns,qspi-nor-peripheral-props.yaml:
+ allOf:
+ - $ref: spi-peripheral-props.yaml#
+ properties:
+ ...

> samsung,spi-peripheral-props.yaml:
+ allOf:
+ - $ref: spi-peripheral-props.yaml#
+ properties:
+ ...

Especially seeing you left the generic peripheral-props schema opened for
the additional properties (additionalProperties: true). Afterwards the Cdns
and Samsung SPI DT-schemas would refer to these peripheral props schemas
in the sub-nodes. Like this:
> cdns,qspi-nor.yaml:
+ ...
+ patternProperties:
+ "^.*@[0-9a-f]+$":
+ type: object
+ $ref: spi-peripheral-props.yaml
+ ...

IMO having the common ports definitions in the same schema file as the
corresponding DT-bindings is more readable. You don't have to
open additional files, switch between tabs in order to get to the
referred sub-schema. In addition splitting that much coherent parts
isn't good from the maintainability point of view either.

Ok.

Right. Incorrectly copy-pasted it.

Do you mean that this will work for the schemas referring the
snps,dwc-ahci.yaml schema only? I suppose the vendor-specific schemas
still can extend it by re-designing the snps,dwc-ahci.yaml DT-binding in
the same way as the generic SATA/AHCI schemas.
