This document referenced in 12MAINTAINERS impose additional requirements listed below. 13 14Strict DTS DT Schema and dtc Compliance 15--------------------------------------- 16 17No changes to the SoC platform Devicetree sources (DTS files) should introduce 18new ``make dtbs_check W=1`` warnings. Warnings in a new board DTS, which are 19results of issues in an included DTSI file, are considered existing, not new 20warnings. For series split between different trees (DT bindings go via driver 21subsystem tree), warnings on linux-next are decisive. The platform maintainers 22have automation in place which should point out any new warnings. 23 24If a commit introducing new warnings gets accepted somehow, the resulting 25issues shall be fixed in reasonable time (e.g. within one release) or the 26commit reverted. 27
