Most of the properties you added here are already documented at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/ramoops.yaml 

Can't we just reference them here? would something like work?

max-reason:
  $ref: "../../reserved-memory/ramoops.yaml#/properties/max-reason

> +unevaluatedProperties: false

will there be any additional properties be added dynamically? if not,
should not we use "additionalProperties: false" here?

Thanks,
