Yes, sorry for that.

OK, I think I need to do this in nand@:

      ...
            
      label:
        $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string

      partitions:
        type: object

      ...
      
    additionalProperties: false

So the "partitions" will be validated for example by fixed-partitions.yaml.
And additionalProperties:false in the nand@ protects from adding other
non-valid properties on it's hierarchy level since all possible
properties in nand@ are covered.
