So this is a byte array?

    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint8-array
    items:
      - minItems: 6
        maxItems: 6

Yes. I will change that...

OK, I will add that.

OK - I am totally clear on the usage of maxItems.  This is only
intended for arrays, and for single values I should omit any
min/maxItems?

How can I add limit?
I did not succeed using minimum/maximum (see below)...

So no maxItems for single instance items?

Hmmm, I really misunderstood this...

OK

OK.

Yes, I will add a prefix.

Oops - yes.

I tried adding minimum and maximum, but I got an error from the
validation tool:

Ignoring, error in schema: properties: ethernet-ports:
patternProperties: ^port@[0-9]+$: properties: sd_sgpio: maximum

So what is the syntax for this?

Thanks for your comments - I still have a bit of learning to do
clearly...
