Hi Krzysztof,

that example only shows setting minItems to override the default value, but the
issue here is that it's not possible to override minItems/maxItems (after
they're already set, even if implicitly) with a different value in the if.

That is:

properties:
reg-names:
items:
- const: sram
- const: cfg
- const: l1tcm

if:
properties:
compatible:
enum:
- mediatek,mt8183-scp
- mediatek,mt8186-scp
then:
properties:
reg-names:
minItems: 2
maxItems: 2

Generates the error on dtbs_check:

/home/nfraprado/ext/git/linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt8183-kukui-kakadu.dtb: scp@10500000: reg-names: ['sram', 'cfg'] is too short

I believe the tooling is implicitly adding

minItems: 3
maxItems: 3

to the common reg-names, and since it's not possible to override them, the
override to 2 doesn't work so they are kept at 3, causing the error.

Moving the minItems/maxItems to the common reg-names as a test gives:

/home/nfraprado/ext/git/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/remoteproc/mtk,scp.yaml: properties:reg-names: {'minItems': 2, 'maxItems': 2, 'items': [{'const': 'sram'}, {'const': 'cfg'}, {'const': 'l1tcm'}]} should not be valid under {'required': ['maxItems']}
hint: "maxItems" is not needed with an "items" list

That error, plus looking in the items meta-schema, suggests me that maxItems
isn't supposed to be set lower then the length of items. So even if the
minItems/maxItems override is fixed, there's still this issue. It seems like
defining the reg-names list separetely in each if branch is indeed the right way
to go.

Thanks,
Nícolas
