Yes.

Yes, but here there is no target. We're just running a check on the source.

I've changed it to this:

quiet_cmd_chk_binding = CHKDT   $(patsubst $(srctree)/%,%,$<)

Nothing really. Just named it something so it gets cleaned and ignored by git.

It is for error case when the output file is not generated. I can
handle this within dt-mk-schema instead.

It is enforcing the ordering. Without it, the binding checks and
building .schema.yaml.tmp happen in parallel because both only have
the source files as dependencies. The '|' keeps the dependencies out
of the dependency list($^).

Looks good.

I'm going to change this to "ifneq ($CHECK_DTBS),)" in case we start
supporting more than 1 value such as warning levels.

Sadly, that's probably true.

Thanks for your thorough review.
