Rob mentioned that there is now support for unevaluatedProperties in
dt-schema. I was able to test this, though with only limited success. I
made the following changes on top of this patch:

As I said, this only works partially. One thing I have to do is comment
out the whole "if:" block in meta-schemas/base.yaml in order to get rid
of this error:

	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpu/host1x/nvidia,tegra210-nvdec.yaml: 'additionalProperties' is a required property
	hint: A schema without a "$ref" to another schema must define all properties and use "additionalProperties"
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/base.yaml#

which basically makes the whole file invalid. The reason seems to be
that dt-schema will only allow unevaluatedProperties if there are any
$ref references in the schema. Although I'm not sure I understand how
exactly that works because I tried to inject a dummy $ref but that
didn't fix the above error.

Once that's worked around, though, I do get the examples to validate
with just a small caveat: nvidia,instance is recognized as being
required in the Tegra194 case (if I remove it from the example, I do get
an error, as expected), but if I add nvidia,instance to the Tegra186
example, it doesn't actually produce an error and will just accept it as
valid, even though the compatible is not nvidia,tegra194-nvdec.

I don't have time at the moment to investigate why that is, but just
thought I'd report this here in the meantime. Perhaps it's already a
known issue?

We could potentially side-step this by getting rid of the custom
nvidia,instance property altogether. Unfortunately of_device_id table
matching only supports matching by name, but not by unit-address, which
would've been nice in this case. Matching by base address manually is a
bit suboptimal, but it's not that bad.

In any case, there are other examples I know of which need this type of
functionality (a bunch of devices where the number and names of power
supplies change from one generation to another), so this problem isn't
going entirely away anyway.
