Overriding detected file kind

[rokcarl]

I've upgraded ansible-lint from 4.0.0 to 5.0.6. When running it on one of our yaml files, I get this:

$ ansible-lint -p ./playbooks/pipeline/site.yml
WARNING  Overriding detected file kind 'yaml' with 'playbook' for given positional argument: ./playbooks/pipeline/site.yml
...

Why do I get this warning? I've googled, found #1368 and #1334, but wasn't really explained. Found it in code here, but still didn't make much sense to me. Why am I getting the warning and how to fix it?

Also, why do I get lint errors from multiple files, if I only pass it one file? Does it parse this file and then lint all the files that depend on it as well?
