Switch the DT validation to use DTB files directly instead of a DTS to YAML conversion. The original motivation for supporting validation on DTB files was to enable running validation on a running system (e.g. 'dt-validate /sys/firmware/fdt') or other cases where the original source DTS is not available. The YAML format was not without issues. Using DTBs with the schema type information solves some of those problems. The YAML format relies on the DTS source level information including bracketing of properties, size directives, and phandle tags all of which are lost in a DTB file. While standardizing the bracketing is a good thing, it does cause a lot of extra warnings and churn to fix them. Another issue has been signed types are not validated correctly as sign information is not propagated to YAML. Using the schema type information allows for proper handling of signed types. YAML also can't represent the full range of 64-bit integers as numbers are stored as floats by most/all parsers. The DTB validation works by decoding property values using the type information in the schemas themselves. The main corner case this does not work for is matrix types where neither dimension is fixed. For now, checking the dimensions in these cases are skipped.
