+U-Boot standard boot methods (bootmeth)
+======================================
+
+This provides methods (called bootmeths) for locating bootflows on a boot
+device (bootdev). These are normally created as children of the bootstd device.
+
+Required properties:
+
+compatible:
+ "u-boot,distro-syslinux" - distro boot from a block device
+ "u-boot,distro-pxe" - distro boot from a network device
+ "u-boot,distro-efi" - EFI boot from an .efi file
+ "u-boot,efi-bootmgr" - EFI boot using boot manager (bootmgr)
+
+
+Example:
+
+ bootstd {
+ compatible = "u-boot,boot-std";
+
+ filename-prefixes = "/", "/boot/";
+ bootdev-order = "mmc2", "mmc1";
+
+ syslinux {
+ compatible = "u-boot,distro-syslinux";
+ };
+
+ efi {
+ compatible = "u-boot,distro-efi";
+ };
+ };
