Subject: [PATCH] docs: dt: writing-schema: Document usage of CHECK_DTBS make flag
Date: Wed,  2 Nov 2022 17:43:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221102214300.309347-1-nfraprado@collabora.com> (raw)

It is possible to run checks on a Devicetree by passing the CHECK_DTBS
flag when building. This is a useful shortcut to the dtbs_check make
target since it avoids checking unrelated Devicetrees, which can take
some time and is unnecessary if no bindings were modified. Document it.

+Note that ``make dtbs_check`` will validate every DT source file that is
+enabled. When making changes to a DT but not to the bindings, a possible
+shortcut to validate only the DT in question is to explicitly build it with
+the ``CHECK_DTBS`` flag enabled. For example::

+    make CHECK_DTBS=y mediatek/mt8192-evb.dtb
