[PATCH v2] docs: dt: writing-schema: add example for multiple DT_SCHEMA_FILES

From: Hugo Villeneuve
Date: Mon Oct 02 2023 - 14:38:43 EST


From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Variable DT_SCHEMA_FILES can specify multiple files or patterns, but the
documentation does not indicate how to do it. Each entry needs to be
separated by a column symbol ':'.

Add an example to make it more obvious how to specify multiple
DT_SCHEMA_FILES.
