It would be good to note that the D1 and T113 are identical in terms of
peripherals, they differ only in the architecture of the CPU core, and
even share the majority of their DT. Because of that, using the same
compatible makes sense.
The R329 is a different SoC though, and should have a different
compatible string added, especially as there is a difference in the
number of channels. It would be fine to use the current compatible for
the D1 as a fallback.
The allwinner,pwm-channels property should probably only be allowed on
the R329 and only allow the values of 6 & 9.

BTW, this should probably be you, since you have the hardware with this
SoC.

Don't need the items here, because there is only one. You can just do
"maxItems: 1" instead.
