I may be misreading, but here, "unevaluatedProperties: false" from dsa.yaml
(under patternProperties: "^(ethernet-)?port@[0-9]+$":) is on the same
level as the "unevaluatedProperties: false" that Colin is deleting.

In fact, I believe that it is precisely due to the "unevaluatedProperties: false"
from dsa.yaml that this is causing a failure now:

net/dsa/qca8k.example.dtb: switch at 10: ports:port at 6: Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('qca,sgmii-rxclk-falling-edge' was unexpected)

Could you please explain why is the 'qca,sgmii-rxclk-falling-edge'
property not evaluated from the perspective of dsa.yaml in the example?
It's a head scratcher to me.

May it have something to do with the fact that Colin's addition:

$ref: "dsa.yaml#"

is not expressed as:

allOf:
  - $ref: "dsa.yaml#"

?

If yes, can you explain exactly what is the difference with respect to
unevaluatedProperties?
