Thanks this version of your question is much more useful than the
initial version.
The above paragraph is the key information which was missing from your
initial question. In make, everything is a matter of order and
dependencies so we always need that to be made clear.
In this case, you need to create an extra prerequisite layer on top of
the two you already have. In other words, something like this:
ifdef CHECK_DTB
dtb_prereq = checked
else
dtb_prereq = built
endif
%.dtb: .%.dtb.$(dtb_prereq) ;
.%.dtb.built: %.dts
[ compile the device tree--creates %.dtb ]
@touch $@
.%.dtb.checked: .%.dtb.built
[ check the schema ]
@touch $@
Be sure you add the semicolon to the %.dtb rule to create an empty
recipe, else it won't work it all.
