So, like, the other day David Gibson mumbled:
> This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of
> the flattened device tree format. Version 17 is a small, backwards
> compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the
> size of the device tree's structure block. At this time, the kernel
> has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make
> life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree.
>
> In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field
> of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened
> tree format, but omitted from the documentation. It also makes
> changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and
> 17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used
> for version 16 previously.
>
> Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device
> tree header structure in prom.h
