Sounds better, but yamllint (on all files) would still take 80% of the
time for a single binding check, assuming a reasonably fast multi-core
machine. My main objection is that while working on a new binding, and
using DT_SCHEMA_FILES, I don't want to waste time on checking other
bindings, and being bothered with warnings about them.

Thanks, will respin to restrict to yamllint.
