It is cleaned whatever file name you use.


See scripts/Makefile.clean

__clean-files   := $(extra-y) $(extra-m) $(extra-)       \
                   $(always) $(targets) $(clean-files)   \
                   $(hostprogs-y) $(hostprogs-m) $(hostprogs-) \
                   $(hostlibs-y) $(hostlibs-m) $(hostlibs-) \
                   $(hostcxxlibs-y) $(hostcxxlibs-m)


$(extra-y) is cleaned.



You are adding *.example.dts to .gitignore

Why not "schema.yaml" ?

What kind problem would you see if
the binding checks and building .schema.yaml.tmp
happen in parallel?
