Aren't there some constraints on the values? You could do something like this:

maxItems: 2
items:
minimum: 1
maximum: 2000

I know I said the way you have it is fine, but the example fails with
it like this. It's related to how we encode the DT data for validation
and some schema fixups we do to cut down on some boilerplate. We could
just fix the example (with <> around each value), but having
constraints is better.

Can drop this as .*-microvolt has a defined type.

Are there some constraints?

Save 'fan' for if/when we have a node representing the fan itself.

What happened to 'reg'? While inconsistent that adc doesn't have an
address, better that than inventing your own address property.
