that sort of information should be placed on
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/*/$device.txt, right ? Why should we
replicate it on all dts files ? Besides, there are only two such entries
on all ARM DTS files. Do we really want to make dts files bigger with
links to documentation which can even be moved at any time to other
location by the manufacturer's choice ? Will anyone actually keep track
of such links to make sure they aren't broken ? And even if someone does
track those links, do we really want to keep sending such patches for
the dts files ?
