Having to run 'make dt_binding_check' on everything. I guess maybe if the tree stays clean it won't be too bad and it wasn't too bad against the current linux-next, but I can imagine that every time I want to run this I'll run into a pile of warnings / errors in other people's files. Then I need to figure out what to ignore / workaround. If something fails badly (like intel-gw-pcie.yaml) I'll have to realize that I should just delete that file to get the rest of the run to report errors that are relevant to me. This'll probably be worse because most maintainer trees are based on "-rc1" and at least in the past I've found that "-rc1" tends to have lots of problems. Each maintainer then fixes the problems relative to their own subsystem, but it's not a wonderful thing to rely on. > I could probably rework things such that you can check a single > binding example against all schema, but dtbs still get validated by > just a single schema. This would be helpful. ...or some way to easily make really bad failures non-fatal. Then I can maybe just diff the results before my patch and after and that'll give me a hint of what I've fixed / made worse. > Probably is.

At this point I'm going to say that we're better off than we were, but I'll try to keep this in mind for future patches. -Doug
