Not really a fan of the thousands of files that creates. Maybe if it
was turned into something useful like a list of schemas that apply to
the dtb. IOW, a dependency list. That would speed up re-running after
a schema change. Though if a schema change created new dependencies,
that wouldn't work.

I lean towards just rebuilding the dtbs. That's pretty quick and
ensures we get dtc warnings with schema warnings. In the long run, I
would like to make the schema checks not optional to run. The
impediment to doing that is lots of warnings (but not not some
platforms), adding a tool dependency, and validation time.

It needs some attention to see how well validation of overlays works or not.
