My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'
on your patch (DT_CHECKER_FLAGS is new in v5.13):

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/linux-dt-review/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/powerzones.yaml: 'additionalProperties' is a required property
hint: A schema without a "$ref" to another schema must define all properties and use "additionalProperties"
from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/base.yaml#
/builds/robherring/linux-dt-review/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/powerzones.yaml: ignoring, error in schema:
warning: no schema found in file: ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/powerzones.yaml

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1559118

This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch
series is generally the most recent rc1.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit.
