How do we know anything DT works? We don't without testing on h/w. 
That's not what the schemas provide.

The spi-peripheral-props.yaml reference is needed in order to allow 
controller specific timing properties and to prevent random 
other undocumented properties from being present. There is not another 
way to do both of those.

Do I wish we didn't have these controller specific timing parameters, 
yes! But that ship has sailed.
