Why remove it from the kernel? It seems like this part should change infrequently and it would be good to keep its documentation with the kernel as well? - k ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It will be improving over time, and it makes much more sense to keep the documntation about a system within the repository for that system. And rather than have two copies, one of which will get out of sync, I feel it makes more sense to relocate the DTC technical descriptions to the DTC repository where it belongs. And speaking of which, I will also be removing the already extant and already way out of data copy of the booting-without-of.txt from the DTC repo as well. If a small summary of say, DTC command line usage is left in b-w-o.txt as a Quick Ref, I'm fine with that, of course. Thanks, jdl ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
