A recent change added a warning when yamllint is not installed, as it is needed for 'make dt_binding_check'. However, it also changed DT_SCHEMA_LINT to be a simple make variable, which is evaluated when a Makefile is evaluated. This causes a warning when running 'make clean', as Documentation/devicetree/bindings/Makefile has a "clean-files" variable: $ make -s clean which: no yamllint in (...) warning: python package 'yamllint' not installed, skipping Make DT_SCHEMA_LINT a recursive variable so it is evaluated only when it is used. The warning still triggers when 'make dt_binding_check' is run.
