> usart/serial, spi and i2c dt-bindings are in .txt format. So, I cannot refer them here. Like I mentioned in v5 -> v6 changes description, spi dt-bindings conversion is under discussion. For now, I am removing child nodes from example. I will add it through new patch once below bindings are accepted:

No one talks about example. Your schema does not allow any child nodes
now, which is not correct. You must describe these children - even if
their schema is not ready. In such case just type:object, description
and maybe compatibles.

I don't understand why you cannot refer to them here.
