Since there's already going to be an "if" block, it simplifies parsing 
to keep the booleans. My first attempt was this, but that doesn't work 
as I'd expect. Adding "slew-rate" to the example dts results in an 
error, so apparently the "if" block doesn't do what I think it would and 
I haven't figured out yet what the correct syntax must be:

if:
   properties:
     compatible:
       contains:
         const: ti,sn65dp159
then:
   properties:
     ti,sink-mode:
       type: boolean
       description:
         Force chip to operate in "sink" mode. Allows to use
         a DP159 chip (defaults to source) for incoming signals.
     ti,dvi-mode:
       type: boolean
       description: Makes the DP159 chip operate in DVI mode.
     slew-rate:
       $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
       minimum: 0
       maximum: 3
       default: 3
       description: Set slew rate, 0 is slowest, 3 is fastest.
else:
   properties:
     ti,source-mode:
       type: boolean
       description:
         Force chip to operate in "source" mode. Allows to use
         a TMDS181 chip (which defaults to sink) as cable driver.
