This is a node? If so, you need:

type: object
additionalProperties: false

I thought referencing a schema under a property would be enough?

Indeed in nvmem.yaml we create the property nvmem-layout and make it
reference nvmem-layout.yaml. Then, in nvmem-layout.yaml:

	 oneOf:
	  - $ref: kontron,sl28-vpd.yaml
	  - $ref: onie,tlv-layout.yaml

we reference the different layouts that may apply (very much like what
you proposed to list the mtd partition parsers, if I got it right).

Isn't it enough?

Then if you look below there is an "additionalProperties: false"
defined.

No. It is enough to allow the property, but nothing defines what it must 
be (a node) and what the node contains in the case of empty nodes. Try 
adding 'product-name = "foo";' and it won't warn.

There was a misunderstanding on my side. I thought your comment was
about the nvmem-layout node. Actually you were commenting about all the
sub-nodes defining nvmem-cells inside, so I'm fully aligned with your
response.

However, if I understood it correctly, you basically said that:

	property:
	  $ref: foo.yaml

is not the same as:

	property:
	  type: object
	  $ref: foo.yaml

If that's the case, then should we consider dropping this patch (which
you agreed with in the first place)?

From a json-schema standpoint, they may not be the same. You can't know 
without knowing what's in foo.yaml. They are the same only if foo.yaml 
contains 'type: object'. It does for us because the tools will add 
'type: object' to the top-level of every schema file.


properties:
  property:
    properties:
      foo: {}

These would all pass validation with the above:

property;
property = "bar";

More generally, json-schema's behavior is if a keyword doesn't apply for 
an instance, just silently ignore it. So while 'properties' keyword only 
makes sense on an object or maxItems on an array, json-schema doesn't 
care. The dtschema tools do a bit to counteract that.

+  (flash, EEPROM,...) is not specified. The exact location of each value is also
