Subject: drop second/last, redundant "YAML schema". The "dt-bindings"
prefix is already stating that these are bindings and all new must be DT
schema. You cannot add anything else, so this is redundant.

Why do you need the select?

We do not enforce node names in individual bindings. Why do you need it?
Plus underscore is not even proper character...

Drop items. You have only one item, so no need for list.

You just duplicated property name. Write something useful.

Node names should be generic, so "sink"

Why line break after =?

If you use sentences, then start with capital letter.
