Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The newly added `microchip,mcp2542` compatible string bypasses schema validation hardware constraints because its fallback conditional block uses a strict `enum` match rather than `contains`.

dt-bindings: phy: ti,tcan104x-can: Document Microchip MCP2542
    
The Microchip MCP2542 High-speed CAN transceiver with Sleep mode is a
pin-compatible alternative for the TI TCAN1042.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this newly added compatible string bypass the hardware constraints enforced
later in the schema?

When a device tree defines compatible = "microchip,mcp2542", "ti,tcan1042", the
schema parses it as a string array. However, the allOf conditional block further
down in the file checks for ti,tcan1042 using a strict scalar enum match:

allOf:
  - if:
      properties:
        compatible:
          enum:
            - nxp,tjr1443
            - ti,tcan1042
            - ti,tcan1043
    then:

Since the array fails the strict enum match, the then constraints are skipped,
which allows a microchip,mcp2542 device node with an invalid configuration to
silently pass dt_binding_check.

Should the allOf block be updated to use contains instead of enum, or should
microchip,mcp2542 be explicitly added to the enum list, to ensure these devices
are properly validated?
