Three points from your feedback:

1. -hz suffix: added

2. Array property: I still lean towards keeping this as a scalar for
now, as we don't have a concrete use case for multiple values today, and
supporting two frequencies should be sufficient for the foreseeable
future. I had responded to this in the v4 discussion as well, you may
have missed that response.

3. maxItems: Since the property remains a scalar, I have not added maxItems.

Thanks,
Santhosh.
