Okay!

Not sure what issues you are facing, but I find it easy to install and validate
the devicetree files and schemas using the "dt-schema" tool. And I always run it
together with "make dtbs" so that I know if my changes are violating the
binding or not.

I'm aware that folks have been using the validator on popular distributions like
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Kali etc...

If you have a specific issue, you can raise the Github issue on the repo to
get some help: https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/issues
