Doesn't work. With maxItems: 2, the example fails, yet it correctly lists
two regs which are 64-bit address and 64-bit size - so in total 8 32-bit
ints.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/apple,smc.example.dtb: smc at 23e400000: reg: [[2, 1044381696], [0, 16384], [2, 1071644672], [0, 1048576]] is too long
        From schema: /home/rmk/git/linux-rmk/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/apple,smc.yaml

Hence, I originally had maxItems: 2, and ended up deleting it because of
the dt checker.

With the two descriptions, it's the same failure.

I think the problem is that the checker has no knowledge in the example
of how big each address and size element of the reg property is. So,
it's interpreting it as four entries of 32-bit address,size pairs
instead of two entries of 64-bit address,size pairs. Yep, that's it,
if I increase the number of "- description" entries to four then it's
happy.

So, what's the solution?
