Not sure if it's needed, but maybe a reference or an example to which
are the transport properties could be useful in this description.

Shouldn't be expressed that reg is required for these protocol
patternProperties ? (no sure how though...:D)

Maybe it does not matter, but all the info present in the old .txt binding
about references to external std bindings like:

> -This binding for the SCMI power domain providers uses the generic
> power
> -domain binding[2].

is no more reported in yaml. Is it fine ?

Indeed shmem is required by chance all the transports defined in this
binding, but it is not really something generally required, in fact
virtio transport won't require it.

But I'm not sure if it's better to move it now down under some kind of
if: arm,scmi|arm,scmi-smc or just do it later when virtio transport binding
will be defined/introduced.
