Thanks for providing me the hint. Using it, would surely  have been easier=
=20
than adding manually the comment again. However I using the search=20
"dtc dts-v1 syntax conversion script" didn't give me any hint and even in t=
he=20
the current  http://www.jdl.com/software/dtc.git I find no word in the=20
Documentation about convert-dtsv0.

Neither does it get installed when calling make install.

Therefore I would suggest you to add a small remark like this:

convert-dtsv0 is a small utility program which converts (DTS)
Device Tree Source from the obsolete version 0 to version 1. Version 1 DTS
files are marked by line "/dts-v1/;" at the top of the file.

Best regards
