Hi Krzysztof,

If you mean checking
here? https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/e6ea659d2baa30df1ec0fcc4f8354208692489eb/dtschema/schemas/cpu-map.yaml#L110

There is no parameters allowed at this point for cpu phandles in the
cpu-map tree. Of course, this is different than what's been
implemented in the patchset.
