This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch
series is generally the most recent rc1.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit.

Only 1 version? Every implementation detail is discoverable in other 
ways?

Don't write free form text of what the schema says.

No a json-schema keyword.

This is conflating the Sscofpmf extension with the SBI PMU interface;
the former is what the hardware supports, the latter is what the
firmware exposes. The SBI interface exists today and does not require
overflow interrupts to be supported, so there needs to be a distinction
between that case and the case where Sscofpmf is supported in both
hardware and the SBI implementation, which probably means having a
second compatible string for that case that also includes the generic
SBI PMU interface as a fallback compatible string.

Secondly, I do not think this is the right name for this. The riscv,pmu
compatible string (or anything of that nature) should be reserved for
*hardware* that provides usable performance monitoring features to an
OS. This is not that, this is the SBI interface that requires an OS to
make firmware calls for any starting, stopping or configuring of a
counter, which results in an even greater probe effect than is already
present with frameworks like FreeBSD's HWPMC or Linux's perf (I don't
know how the two compare on that front, but I imagine Linux is similar
to FreeBSD). This should have SBI in the name so that it doesn't get in
the way of real performance monitoring support once the architecture is
finally mature enough to have S-mode-configurable counters and a
standardised set of common events like pretty much every other
architecture.

Also I do not like the use of PMU, since that is Arm's terminology,
whereas RISC-V uses HPM, but you've already defined the SBI interface as
being PMU so I guess that ship has sailed.
