The actual definition is: defined by common bindings, which are:
meta-schemas and schemas in dtschema, and common bindings per subsystem
(e.g. leds/common.yaml).

Lack of vendor-prefix is I think 99% accurate in this matter, but there
are some "linux," ones.

Order here is correct but all of them are generic properties, thus this
coding style does not define ordering within.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
