Is multiple capabilities a USB spec thing or some Linux feature? I think
DT should only define the limits of the h/w capabilities and if the OS
wants to define multiple profiles within those limits that's its
problem.

caps-[0-9] is more the convention.

You are now defining the same property twice. You can use '$defs' to
define common properties and then reference them. Or put all the PD
properties into its own schema file and reference it.
