Section 3.5.2. says:

     typedef matchall-string-type {
       type string {
         pattern "\*";
       }
       description
         "The string containing a single asterisk '*' is used
          to conceptually represent all possible values
          for the particular leaf using this data type.";
     }

It should say:

     typedef matchall-string-type {
       type string {
         pattern '\*';
       }
       description
         "The string containing a single asterisk '*' is used
          to conceptually represent all possible values
          for the particular leaf using this data type.";
     }

Notes:

As per RFC6020, Section 6.1.3., a backslash within a double-quoted string introduces a special character. The only valid escape sequences inside a double-quoted YANG string are: \n, \t, \" and \\. As \* is not a valid escape sequence, a single quoted string should be used to specify the offending pattern statement's argument. The quotes could also be omitted.
