Ahh, indeed, I missed that and focused on the additionalProperties.
Instead use unevaluatedProperties: false and drop all properties already
in dsi-controller.yaml.

This does not address my comment. Use specific compatibles as fallback,
just like we recommend for every device. This should not be different.
If you do not know the hardware details, using generic is even less
appropriate.

I see, I think I again totally missed that you have there references to
backlight, so binding is in general fine. Describe the hardware in
description field (see commit for mentioned Samsung panel).
