2020-01-04dt-bindings: Improve validation build error handlingRob Herring
[ Upstream commit 93512dad334deb444619505f1fbb761156f7471b ] Schema errors can cause make to exit before useful information is printed. This leaves developers wondering what's wrong. It can be overcome passing '-k' to make, but that's not an obvious solution. There's 2 scenarios where this happens. When using DT_SCHEMA_FILES to validate with a single schema, any error in the schema results in processed-schema.yaml being empty causing a make error. The result is the specific errors in the schema are never shown because processed-schema.yaml is the first target built. Simply making processed-schema.yaml last in extra-y ensures the full schema validation with detailed error messages happen first. The 2nd problem is while schema errors are ignored for processed-schema.yaml, full validation of the schema still runs in parallel and any schema validation errors will still stop the build when running validation of dts files. The fix is to not add the schema examples to extra-y in this case. This means 'dtbs_check' is no longer a superset of 'dt_binding_check'. Update the documentation to make this clear.

2019-08-13devicetree: Expose dtbs_check and dt_binding_check some moreStephen Boyd
It wasn't obvious that this was a command to run based on 'make help', so add it to the top-level help for devicetree builds. Also, add an example to the documentation to show that db_binding_check can be run with DT_SCHEMA_FILES= to only check one schema file instead of all of them.
