cross-referencing? =)

I guess that if yaml is what is expected to be used as patch format,
then we should probably mention this in submitting-patches.txt and
writing-bindings.txt. Actyually, I think that writing-bindings.txt
could be combined with writing-schema.rst - they are about the same
thing, right?

Fine. Let's see if it is a beer or a tool then :]

Thanks. At least the make dt_binding_check passed now. dt-doc-validate
is not able to locate the regulator.yaml and errors out - but it does
