At present some of the ideas and techniques behind devicetree in U-Boot are assumed, implied or unsaid. Add some documentation to cover how devicetree is build, how it can be modified and the rules about using the various CONFIG_OF_... options.

This patch attracted quite a bit of discussion here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210909201033.755713-4-sjg...
I have not included the text suggested by François. While I agree that it would be useful to have an introduction in this space, I do not agree that we should have two devicetrees or that U-Boot should not have its own things in the devicetree, so it is not clear to me what we should actually write.
The 'Devicetree Control in U-Boot' docs were recently merged and these provide some base info, for now.
As you already remarked part of this text has not been agreed upon.
Please, either remove this part of the text or mark it as your private opinion.
Do you mean the comment after the patch? It won't appear in the commit message.
I believe he's referring to that section of the document itself, which is still not agreed on / to.
