I think this is not specific enough now and you should have here $ref
(e.g. to simple-partition.yaml) with unevaluatedProperties. Otherwise
schema does not report:
1. bogus properties in partition@ nodes without compatibles (like the
   first one in the example),
2. partition@ nodes with some other compatibles (non-partition like,
   e.g. whatever I2C device stuffed there for which there is a schema of
   course)

Best regards,
