Yes, I understood all that. Let me be clear. I don't want examples
which don't have a schema. So drop the node or convert
exynos-ppmu.txt.

First, when we do add a schema, then we likely have to go fix the
examples. It happens a lot and is not caught with folks using
DT_SCHEMA_FILES. Second, I don't like reporting errors that users
should have gotten by default. We can't turn this check on by default
until the 80 or so cases we already have in the binding examples are
fixed.
