The above is the case where you aren't adding extra properties (IIRC), 
so 'unevaluatedProperties: false' should be correct.

'unevaluatedProperties: true' is never correct in bindings. If you ref a
schema that sets it to true, you can't override it.

So qca8k, should reference dsa-port.yaml, define its extra properties 
and set 'unevaluatedProperties: false'.

That one looks correct.
