select dictates if the schema is applied to a node or not.

It takes a schema, and if this schema is valid, the rest of the schema
will be applied to the current node.

It's mostly unused in the kernel because the dt-validate tool will add a
select clause from the compatible list in most case that would expand in
this case to:

select:
  properties:
    contains:
      enum:
        - advantech,idk-1110wr
	- panel-lvds

  required:
    - compatible

ie, it tries to validate with this schema any node that has either the
panel compatible or the generic compatible.

That means we would have that schema applied to all the nodes that have
panel-lvds, including the ones with a different compatible than the
advantech one.

With this clause, we make sure that we ignore the other panels, while
ensuring that the compatible list for the advantech compatible is
correct.

That was my intent, but it might not be relevant indeed. Honestly at
this point I just want to have the tbs,a711-panel compatible documented
somewhere :)
