Ok. But note in such case the compatible string constraints will get
to be opened for any non-common string. Like this:

+ properties:
+   compatible:
+     oneOf:
+       - const: snps,ddrc-3.80a
+       - {}

It's required for the DT-schemas referencing the common one, otherwise
they will fail DT-nodes evaluation due to the "compatible" property
missing the vendor-specific string.

Right. I'll add a separate DT-schema for my device.
