It is not valid to put spi-max-frequency = 1 GHz in
spi-peripheral-props.yaml.

Since we discussed it last time.  What is not clear in Rob's response?
He nicely explained the purpose of spi-peripheral-props.yaml.

Not every fruit is an orange, but every orange is a fruit. You do not
put "color: orange" to schema for fruits. You put it to the schema for
oranges.

IOW, CPHA/CPOL are not valid for most devices, so they cannot be in
spi-peripheral-props.yaml.
