If the only requirement is that the timestamp file is not exposed, then
why don't we introduce a phony target (similar to all, clean, install, etc)?
For example we can call the target 'schema'.
In our case we need a piece of code to let the user type
$ make schema-hello
to build hello.dtb and run a schema check.


We can do this with something along the lines of

# Prevent make from removing *.checked and *.dtb files.
.NOTINTERMEDIATE: .%.dtb.checked %.dtb

schema-%: .%.dtb.checked;
.%.dtb.checked: %.dtb
    $(info checking the schema of $*)
    @touch $@

%.dtb: %.dts
    cp $< $@
