Then it should be enum [1, 2], because '0' is not valid.

I understand this is an old binding with older compatibles, so this
should be restricted per each variant (allOf:if:then)... but wait, old
binding did not allow any reset-cells! You add an entirely new binding
property and already want to support some older (deprecated?) way.
