This series improves maintaining type information in the output of dtc from sources without any type annotations such as dtb format. As there's already a bunch of type information in the checks, we simply need to have the checks add markers. This is needed in part to be able to run DT schema validation on dtb files. I also plan to use the schema files to provide type information for all the properties not covered by the dtc checks. Why not do this for all the properties? It's possible, but it wouldn't be possible with just pure schema. The phandle+args patterns with variable cells would need to recreate the same parsing code.
