Documentation summary for feature
cli: Add command "dts-check" to validate dts files and improve board & patch development overall
This command validates the dts/dtb file for the selected board against device tree bindings and outputs the validation logs to the user.
It can be used when adding a new board, developing or improving a dts file. Should lead to higher quality device trees and patches overall, if used.
Then wait for the validation to finish and check the output. If there is anything wrong with your board's device tree, you will see errors or warnings in the log. Analyze them carefully and use this information to improve your dts file.
Please note: Errors or warnings can also be introduced by SoC/board patches. When patching in new functions, like crypto for the RK3588, not only add the relevant parts to rk3588s.dtsi, but also try to add the device tree bindings in
