[PATCH 2/3 v3] mtd/powerpc: Factor out MTD physmap bindings into mtd-physmap.txt

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Thu Apr 16 08:10:57 EDT 2009


It's easier to find bindings descriptions in separate files. So let's factor out
the MTD physmap bindings into Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/mtd-physmap.txt
to not clutter booting-without-of.txt more.
