Yes, that is my intent. As I mentioned above, I have some plans to
integrate the schema checks into dtc which would eliminate .dt.yaml
files. So I don't really want to add them as a user make target if we
might remove it. Also, at some point, running the schema checks
shouldn't be optional. We can't do that yet for 'dtbs' as there's a
bunch of warnings. But for %.dtb targets, I don't think getting the
warnings is a problem.
