No, it should be like this:

compatible:
  items:
    - const: pci1de4,1
    - const: pciclass,0200000
    - const: pciclass,0200

or

compatible:
  addtionalItems: true
  maxItems: 3
  items:
    - const: pci1de4,1


Alternatively, we could instead only generate 'pciclass' compatibles
for bridge nodes. The reason being that being an ethernet controller
doesn't really tell us anything. There's no standard interface
associated with that class.

No.

That's not a device node, but just part of pci-host-bridge.yaml.

No, schemas define exactly what a binding can and can't contain. But
they are divided into device schemas and common schemas. The latter
are incomplete and are included by the former. Generally, "compatible"
goes in device schemas.

The above schema would be the common schema included by a RP1 schema,
LAN966x schema, or any other device doing the same thing.
