Debugging Device Tree issues may be bit challenging but essential for proper hardware configuration. 
Below are the some debugging techniques,

Check syntax errors :- By verifying the generated DTB with the DTC tool.

Debug prints:- By adding debug prints in the kernel code to understand the Device Tree node information.

Using debugger tool :- Use the kernel debuggers like kgdb to halt the kernel and inspect Device Tree content.
