Re-run get_maintainer.pl and added maintainers into the maillist.
emm.. There is some *txt in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/firmware/, isn't it?

Okay, If so，I'll add a property "version" into the dts instead of
"reg", just like, WDYT?
ffitbl {
    smbios {
        entry = "";
        version = < 0x02 >;
    }
   acpi {
         entry = "";
         version = < 0x06 >;
  }
}
