Please start sentences with capital letter. Unfortunately I don't
understand the sentences. Please describe shortly the hardware.

Not minItems but maxItems in general, but anyway you need to actually
list and describe the items (and then skip min/max)

and here you correctly use maxItems, so why min in reg? Anyway, instead
you need to list and describe the items.

Actually I asked you this last time about interrupts, so you ignored
that comment.

Why different order than used in properties?
