True.

Okay. I'll do "processed-schema.yaml" to give a bit better name of
what it contains.

In case of no errors in the binding docs, it doesn't matter. If there
are errors, I don't want the dtbs validation to run if any schema
doesn't validate. However, I played around with this a bit more and it
seems like having the examples' dts/dtb in extra-y prevents that from
happening. Does that match your expections? If so, then I think we can
remove the dependency.

Here's an example.
