[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: Fix command line length limit calling dt-mk-schema

From: Rob Herring
Date: Tue Apr 21 2020 - 17:20:09 EST


As the number of schemas has increased, we're starting to hit the error
"execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long". This is due to passing all the
schema files on the command line to dt-mk-schema. It currently is only
with out of tree builds and is intermittent depending on the file path
lengths.

Commit 2ba06cd8565b ("kbuild: Always validate DT binding examples") made
hitting this proplem more likely since the example validation now always
gets the full list of schemas.

Fix this by putting the schema file list into a temp file and using xargs.
