"Note that xxxx" looks a bit repeated... read:
Note that ``dtbs_check`` will skip any binding schema files with errors.
(etc etc)
Note that ``make dtbs_check`` will validate every DT source file ...
(etc etc)
Perhaps we can change the first paragraph saying
"In order to perform validation of DT source files, use..."
to something like:
In order to perform validation of all DT source files, use the ``dtbs_check``
target, or set the ``CHECK_DTBS`` variable to ``y`` when building specific DTs::
::
make dtbs_check
make CHECK_DTBS=y mediatek/mt8192-evb.dtb
Any opinion?
Cheers,
Angelo
