BTW, why does this file start with a period?
What is the meaning of '.tmp' extension?

Nothing really. Just named it something so it gets cleaned and ignored by git.

It is cleaned whatever file name you use.


See scripts/Makefile.clean

__clean-files   := $(extra-y) $(extra-m) $(extra-)       \
                   $(always) $(targets) $(clean-files)   \
                   $(hostprogs-y) $(hostprogs-m) $(hostprogs-) \
                   $(hostlibs-y) $(hostlibs-m) $(hostlibs-) \
                   $(hostcxxlibs-y) $(hostcxxlibs-m)


$(extra-y) is cleaned.



You are adding *.example.dts to .gitignore

Why not "schema.yaml" ?

quoted

quoted

+extra-y += $(DT_TMP_SCHEMA)
+
+quiet_cmd_mk_schema = SCHEMA  $@
+      cmd_mk_schema = mkdir -p $(obj); \
+                      rm -f $@; \
+                      $(DT_MK_SCHEMA) $(DT_MK_SCHEMA_FLAGS) -o $@ $(filter-out FORCE, $^)

"mkdir -p $(obj)" is redundant.


Why is 'rm -f $@' necessary ?
Can't dt-mk-schema overwrite the output file?

It is for error case when the output file is not generated. I can
handle this within dt-mk-schema instead.

+DT_DOCS = $(shell cd $(srctree)/$(src) && find * -name '*.yaml')
+DT_SCHEMA_FILES ?= $(addprefix $(src)/,$(DT_DOCS))

+extra-y += $(patsubst $(src)/%.yaml,%.example.dts, $(DT_SCHEMA_FILES))
+extra-y += $(patsubst $(src)/%.yaml,%.example.dtb, $(DT_SCHEMA_FILES))

I assume you intentionally did not do like this:

extra-y += $(patsubst %.yaml,%.example.dtb, $(DT_DOCS))

From the commit description, DT_SCHEMA_FILES might be overridden by a user.
So, I think this is OK.

quoted

+$(obj)/$(DT_TMP_SCHEMA): | $(addprefix $(obj)/,$(patsubst $(src)/%.yaml,%.example.dtb, $(DT_SCHEMA_FILES)))

I do not understand this line.
Why is it necessary?

*.example.dtb files are generated anyway
since they are listed in extra-y.

It is enforcing the ordering. Without it, the binding checks and
building .schema.yaml.tmp happen in parallel because both only have
the source files as dependencies. The '|' keeps the dependencies out
of the dependency list($^).

What kind problem would you see if
the binding checks and building .schema.yaml.tmp
happen in parallel?
