This is the other way around from how we normally structure things. 
Normally, the specific schema would reference the common/base schema. 
This works, though you will be applying the schema twice. Once here and 
then by matching on compatible string. Not a big deal as that happens 
fairly often, but a 'select: false' in kontron,sl28-vpd.yaml would 
prevent that. This way does more to enforce the overall structure of 
nodes.

The one downside I see with it this way is nvmem-layout can't ever have 
common properties defined without listing them in each layout schema.

In the end, I'm okay with either way.
