I apologize if I gave you this impression. I tried to follow the testing 
process, it did not turn out as expected. Obviously, I missed something. 
I tried to ask what I missed, and in order for that question to make 
sense, I need to describe what I tried.

It turns out what I missed was "make check_dtbs". I only found that out 
after an automated email from Rob describing some troubleshooting steps.

If I may have a few sentences to rant, I see the dt-schema as a hurdle 
to making an otherwise useful change. I am told I can ask for help when 
I get stuck, yet I manage to insult the maintainer by aking for help. I 
find this very intimidating.
