Oh right, I knew about the "select: false" thing, but I forgot it in
the two layouts.

Oh that's right, actually I solved it in the mtd dt-binding series with:

partitions.yaml:

	oneOf:
	  - $ref: <parser>.yaml

	generic-property:
	  $ref: something
	  min/max...: foo

<parser>.yaml:
	generic-property: true

But in this case, are the constraints provided by partitions.yaml on
"generic-property" actually still enforced?

Thanks,
