I have succeed to run make dt_binding_check on stable Debian with 5.4
kernel with only denumerable bunch of errors, probably normal one.
Details to make dt_binding_check usable on stable Debian later.

When invoked with base directory specified

/usr/local/bin/dt-doc-validate -u /usr/src/linux-5.4/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ net/can/ctu,ctucanfd.yaml

then no problem is reported in ctu,ctucanfd.yaml .
Please is the specification correct even after human check?

The remark to save time of others, actual stable Debian Buster provides package
python3-ruamel.yaml in 0.15.34-1+b1 version. But use of make dt_binding_check
and dt-doc-validate and dt-validate with this version lead to many errors
"found incompatible YAML document". The validation tools can be make
to work when next packages are added and replaced in stable Debian

python3-pyrsistent 0.15.5-1
python3-pyfakefs 4.0.2-1
python3-zipp 1.0.0-3
python3-importlib-metadata 1.6.0
python3-jsonschema 3.2.0-3
python3-ruamel.yaml.clib 0.2.0-3
python3-ruamel.yaml 0.16.10-2

The dependencies and interdependence of the tools are really wide and that
the tools are unusable in the actual regular Debian stable distribution
should be described somewhere visible enough to save developers
time.

Best wishes,

                Pavel
