Personally, I would avoid having checkpatch do more duplication of
other/better tools, like the DT schema validator. I'd also avoid having
it run other tools that are not guaranteed to be easily available.

I would focus on eliminating the false positives, even if that means
making checkpatch less likely to catch omissions.

But my opinion may not be valuable.
