There are some bindings that do so, but that may not be a good enough
reason, as there's a chance I wrote those myself :-)

I would have sworn that at some point in the past the schema wouldn't
have validated the example with this omitted. I'm not sure if something
changed or if I got this wrong.

video-interfaces.yaml defines lots of properties applicable to
endpoints. For a given device, those properties should be required
(easy, that's defined in the bindings), optional, or forbidden. How do
we differentiate between the latter two cases ?
