Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The device tree schema for pin configuration subnodes fails to require the 'groups' property, allowing functionally empty nodes to silently pass validation.

[Severity: Medium]
Should the groups property be explicitly listed as a required property in this
schema block?

Without a required: [ groups ] constraint here, a functionally empty node
could silently pass device tree schema validation. For example, a developer
could define a subnode like:

    pull-up {
        bias-pull-up;
    };

Since the kernel driver ignores nodes without target groups, the target
hardware pins would remain unconfigured at runtime without raising any schema
validation warnings.
