NVRAM doesn't have cells at hardcoded addresses. They are stored in
internal struct (custom & dynamic format) . It's still important to
define relevant cells in DT so NVMEM consumers can reference them.

One of cells set in almost every device is "et0macaddr" containing MAC
address. Add it to example to show how it can be referenced.

This doesn't really work as a schema as it matches every property or 
child node.

I meant documenting these as schema, not just in a description:

properties:
  board_id:
    type: object
    description: ...

  board_flags:
    type: object
    description: ...

I'm guessing making this list exhaustive is not possible?

     type: object

To say anything else must be a child node.
