linux-toradex.git/scripts/dtc/dt-check-style, branch master Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules dt-bindings: add DTS style checker 2026-06-10T18:37:05+00:00 Daniel Golle daniel@makrotopia.org 2026-05-27T19:32:10+00:00 1e8a9af95a4691fbe4b576114e2998247a00872e Add a Python tool that checks DTS coding style on examples in YAML binding files and on .dts/.dtsi/.dtso source files. Rules are kept in a small declarative registry, each tagged 'relaxed' (default; must be zero-violation on the current tree) or 'strict' (opt-in for new submissions). Promoting a rule from strict to relaxed is a one-line edit once the tree is clean. Relaxed mode covers trailing whitespace, tab characters in YAML examples, mixed tab+space indents, and missing tabs in .dts files. Strict adds indent unit and consistency checks, blank-line placement, sibling address ordering, "compatible" and "reg" ordering, and unused labels. The tool reads file paths from @argfile and parallelises across CPUs via -j N. With no -j given it picks up $PARALLELISM (set by scripts/jobserver-exec from the GNU make jobserver) and falls back to os.cpu_count() otherwise. Running as one Python invocation amortises the ruamel.yaml import across the whole tree -- ~2s on a 32-CPU host vs ~28s sequential.
