Do not need '|' unless you need to preserve formatting.

Drop last sentence. You should write complete bindings for complete
hardware. Binding cannot support something and should not cover only one
bus.

No supplies?

Missing allOf: with ref to spi properties

And this is unevaluatedProperties. Please look at other examples of
devices like that.

Drop comment, obvious.

Don't redefine this, it's defined in spi-peripheral-props.yaml:
spi-cs-high:
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
description:
The device requires the chip select active high.
spi-max-frequency's type comes from there, so you need it for that too.
