From 441848282c59038b6e9a57b233ac6a9449430648 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Herring Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2020 09:24:20 -0500 Subject: dt: Remove booting-without-of.rst booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale. The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification are now. All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same details documented.
