With "true", i see following comment from sashiko (when ran locally)

Without a const constraint, a device tree could specify #address-cells = 
<1> or a non-empty dma-ranges, and it would silently pass schema 
validation. The DT bindings guidelines also recommend that cell-count 
properties have a const constraint matching the hardware.
