typo

I'd rather not expose .*.dt.yaml as I want to make checking not
optional and I have some plans of integrating the schema checks into
dtc which would eliminate .dt.yaml files. Instead, I think %.dtb
targets should run the checks always.

I don't think we should expose this detail (processed-schema.json) to
the top-level makefile. This will be built if 'dt_binding_check' is a
dependency with CHECK_DTBS=y set.

CHECK_DTBS here doesn't work. It has to be exported.

So here's my modified patch (%.dtbo should probably be included too,
but I'm not yet sure how well the schema checks will work on them):
