Oh, I didn't know there is a second make command for doing the actual
check against the dtbs. I've just used `make dt_binding_check'.
So, it seems like a lot of the errors are caused by the include files
such as
[linux]/arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm5301x.dtsi
srab: srab@18007000 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm5301x-srab";
reg = <0x18007000 0x1000>;
status = "disabled";
/* ports are defined in board DTS */
};
The nodename should be "switch" not "srab" as enforced by
dsa.yaml. Furthermore, some DTS files are not adding the chip specific
compatible strings and the ports leading to more errors.
There are also some minor errors regarding the reg-names and such for
specific instances.
How should we proceed? Adding the missing compatible strings and ports
to the DTS files? Or adjusting the include files?

Probably not. We should fix the existing device trees first.
Thanks,
