How to Get Your DT Schema Bindings Accepted in Less than 10 Iterations
summary
Goal: get a DT schema binding accepted in under ten review iterations by following concrete rules and using the validation toolchain. Use dt-schema (YAML), install the Python package and run binding-check or make dtbs check to validate bindings against DTBs. Provide one clean example (remove reg status, skip consumer examples for providers), use vendor-prefixed custom properties with types or standard unit suffixes (microvolts), enforce ordered arrays with name lists, and choose between additionalProperties: false and unevaluated properties depending on extensibility.
