This looks like a very clean implementation of what I had in mind
(better than I could have done it). Sorry for not being able to help
with the json-schema bits and thanks to Rob for doing so.

Would you mind adding one more patch at the beginning of the series
which syncs the maintainers from the DSA (and now also ethernet-switch)
dt-bindings with the MAINTAINERS file? That would mean removing Vivien
(see commit 6ce3df596be2 ("MAINTAINERS: Move Vivien to CREDITS")) and
adding myself. This is in principle such that you don't carry around a
not-up-to-date list of maintainers when adding new schemas.

I don't know if we could do something about maintainer entries in
schemas not becoming out of date w.r.t. the MAINTAINERS file.
