BTW, what are the CONFIG dependencies for this to work?
E.g. defconfig on x86_64 fails, even after enabling CONFIG_OF:

$ make dt_binding_check
  SCHEMA  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/processed-schema.yaml
  CHKDT   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/primecell.yaml
  ...
  CHKDT   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/trivial-devices.yaml
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
'Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/primecell.example.dtb', needed
by '__build'.  Stop.

Obviously it does work for arm/arm64.

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
