I think this is in the wrong place. These should be device level
partitioning schemas, not an individual partition type. (Though nesting
is possible)

Remove this and your example will fail. You need unevaluatedProperties.
There's a problem in partitions.yaml. It never gets applied, so this
schema never gets applied. The default 'select' is generated based on
$nodename or compatible, but it has neither. This needs some more
thought on how to fix given the variable way partitions can be combined.
Probably at a minimum, all the 'select: false' need to be removed.

OK it wasn't there in v1, then Krzysztof said it should be there
(if I understood correctly) and I will remove it again then.

I don't think I can fix this problem, I'm not that good with schema.
I don't even understand the thinking around the existing partitions.yaml.
