I've not got a better suggestion for where to put this, but under
something labelled as "Information for (new) Submaintainers" isn't
where I would be looking as a contributor.
Is adding to the generic DT documentation that dtbs_check should not add
any new warnings at W=1 too extreme?
writing-schema.rst has the instructions about how to run dtbs_check while
writing dt-binding patches, but we don't seem to have any docs about
running dtbs_check for dts/dtsi changes.
