Question:
If this patch is applied, which directory will be created in
device-tree-rebasing?
src/kernel/, src/common/, or something else?
Either will do, of course.


Another nit:
I just noticed a period at the end of the commit subject.
Re-post would not be needed only for such a minor thing,
but please try best to remember to drop it when this patch is applied.
