That's not what I suggested. I asked to make 845 compatible with 750.
This works, but I want to be sure you really, really understand the
consequences of this.

Missing constraints, like min/maxItems and maybe values.

Did you mean to do the compatible as follows?
properties:
compatible:
items:
- enum:
- nuvoton,npcm845-bpc
- const: nuvoton,npcm750-bpc

Appreciate it if you could explain what is the difference between the
compatibility suggested in V3?
