Major changes are I2C and SPI bus checks, YAML output format (for
future validation), some new libfdt functions, and more libfdt
validation of dtbs.

The YAML addition adds an optional dependency on libyaml. pkg-config is
used to test for it and pkg-config became a kconfig dependency in 4.18.

For Ubuntu, the libyaml dependency is provided by the packages:

   libyaml-0-2
   libyaml-dev

Yes, but as it is not yet required by anything in the kernel I don't
think that needs to be documented yet. Also, offhand, I don't think we
generally document in the kernel distro specifics like package names.

Agreed.  I was providing information that might save other people a bit
of research.  It is sufficiently visible in the email thread and does
not need to be in the commit message.
