I disagree here. That kind of information in the device tree is
neither easily discoverable nor comprehensive.

The chance for a regular user to think about going to look to the
device tree for that kind of informations is leaning towards 0. And
you cannot even describe fully the modifications that need to be done
to achieve that.

These infos should belong in the wiki, with images, pictures, whatever
is needed, and not in the device tree.

Yep, in the best scenario. But we're also preparing for the worst :)
