It is possible to run checks on a Devicetree by passing the CHECK_DTBS
flag when building. This is a useful shortcut to the dtbs_check make
target since it avoids checking unrelated Devicetrees, which can take
some time and is unnecessary if no bindings were modified. Document it.

Perhaps we can change the first paragraph saying
"In order to perform validation of DT source files, use..."
to something like:
In order to perform validation of all DT source files, use the ``dtbs_check``
target, or set the ``CHECK_DTBS`` variable to ``y`` when building specific DTs::
::
make dtbs_check

Any opinion?
