What happens when you remove this $ref? Nothing, because you use 0
properties from it. If none of the properties apply, then don't
reference it. It is that simple.

Right, so you should reference ethernet-controller.yaml for the mac
node because you use properties from the schema.

That has nothing to do with *this* binding...

None of this is relevant.

So? Not really any reason a node named foo can't have a child named foo, too.

An 'ethernet' node should implement an ethernet interface. It is the
child nodes that implement the ethernet interface(s). Whether you use
'ethernet' on the parent or not, I don't care too much.

That one appears to be wrong too with the parent referencing
ethernet-controller.yaml.
