But that would match "actually-names-dont-matter" as well, resulting in
a false positive? Should we check if the string appears at the *end* of
the property name?

Cheers,
Andre.

Perhaps. IMO, once a word is used, it needs to be reserved for that
purpose. For example, the gpio hogs binding use of "gpios" with just
numbers and no phandle is bad because we have a mixture of types for a
given property name or suffix. So we should really enforce that
"-names" only appears as a suffix and use anywhere else is a warning.

Yes, we should.

That sounds... overly restrictive to me.  The grabbing of a whole
bunch of gpios words is an example of poor - or at least nonstandard -
binding design IMO.
