No, it's expected. The common schema allows additional properties. You
specific device schema (including common) should not allow anything more
and this is expressed like you mentioned.

However depending on the version of dtschema, the
unevaluatedProperties:false might still be not implemented. AFAIK, Rob
added it quite recently.

No

You need to add here unevaluatedProperties: false (on the level of this
$ref)

Yes, it's good (assuming it is true :) ).

typec sounds good.

The graph schema allows, but you include here usb-connector schema which
requires to put it under "ports". You should not use it differently, so
I expect here "ports" property, even with one port.
