Out-of-Tree YAML and DTS support

[jli157]

Is it possible to have yaml definitions and dts files in an out-of-tree board directory?

myproject/
         boards/arm/myboard/myboard.dts
         dts/bindings/my_peripheral_dev.yaml
                             

This request could be part of the issue: #9172

Yes, use the BOARD_ROOT variable as specified in here.

BOARD_ROOT doesn't support defining out-of-tree yaml files since the script extract_dts_includes.py only reads yaml files from the directory "${ZEPHYR_BASE}/dts/bindings" which is specified on the line 105 of the file ${ZEPHYR_BASE}/cmake/dts.cmake.

Closed since the issue #8849 already covers the concerns this issue raises.
