Home Page of dtc is gone?

Home Page of dtc is gone?

[Thomas Huth]

 Hi all,

according to the README, the home page of dtc is:
 http://devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Compiler
However, when I open that URL in a browser, I only get a 404 error.
Seems like the Wiki that used to be there is gone now and dtc needs a
new home page?

Also looks like the "standard" needs to have the de-facto additions
for overlays that are now widely deployed added.

Ah.. I'm not really sure who looks after the devicetree.org pages
nowadays.  I think it used to be Grant Likely, but I'm not sure if
it's still him.

The devicetree.org site has been re-purposed for the process of updating
the device tree specification (previously known as ePAPR). The old
contents of the root of devicetree.org has been relocated to
elinux.org/Device_Tree_Usage

The most recent version of the Device_Tree_Compiler page (according to
https://web.archive.org/web/20160326052957/http://www.devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Compiler)
did not have much content. The contents of that page is:


   Device Tree Compiler
   Current revision (unreviewed)

   The Device Tree Compiler (DTC) is the toolchain for building device tree source files (*.dts)
   into the binary format (*.dtb).

   libfdt is a BSD-licenses library for manipulating device tree files. Since it is BSD licensed,
   it may be freely incorporated into other software such as firmware and operating system loaders.
   libfdt can be found in the dtc git repository.

   Source Code

   Source for dtc and libfdt is maintained in a git repository on git.kernel.org. You can find the
   repository here:

   https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dtc/dtc.git

   Or you can clone it with the following command:

   git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git


Most of that information is redundant for README, since README is already in the dtc
git repo. Maybe the best solution is to remove the link to devicetree.org from
README.

Yeah, that's probably the best idea in the short term.  Pushed.
