Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] docs: sbsa: document platform version changes
Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 19:28:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230523172855.679018-2-marcin.juszkiewicz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230523172855.679018-1-marcin.juszkiewicz@linaro.org>

We plan to start using sbsa-ref platform version fields
in DT so firmware does not have to use hardcoded values.
