Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Warn if DT bindings are not in schema format
DT bindings are moving to using a json-schema based schema format
instead of freeform text. Add a checkpatch.pl check to encourage using
the schema for new bindings. It's not yet a requirement, but is
progressively being required by some maintainers.
