Please describe what this is. Something like:

/*
 * This tracks incompatible changes to the barebox command interface.
 * This number is increased when changes are introduced which will cause
 * an older environment to no longer work. This could be:
 *
 * - changes in commandline options to commands
 * - renames of commands
 * - rename of device files
 *
 * If you change this value, add a explanation of the actual change to
 * Documentation/command-abi-changes.txt
 */
