Sure, but you did not model it as a compatible fallback, but like one of
variants. It is not tied to specific SoC, thus too generic.

No, rather define them in top level but disallow for specific compatibles:

allOf:
 - if:
  ....
   then:
     patternProperties:
       ...: false

Assuming that this does not over-complicate schema.
