There should also be a --no-validate option to turn everything off, if
the user is confident that the tree is right and doesn't want to get
broken by new dtcs that have new error categories (or if the user is
using dtc to compile some other type of tree than an OF-ish device tree).

In other words, there should be a clear separation between the structural
layer and the semantic layer, even if the same binary can do both.
