Okay, that just seems to be "examples" rather than something which is
installable to provide the necessary commands.
So, I'm afraid I've no idea how I can change any of the .yaml files
and know that the changes are in fact correct. Given that, I think we
need to drop the rule that DT bindings are documented prior to being
merged into the kernel until there is some decent and full
documentation.
