I asked Krzysztof about this offline.

He said something like

This is possible, but I think not between child nodes.

You could require something in children, but not in parent node. For
children something around:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc7/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/qcom,ipa.yaml#L174

allOf:
   - if:
       required:
         - something-in-parent
     then:
       properties:
         child-node:
           required:
             - something-in-child

I will see if I can turn that into a workable proposal/patch.
