Replace the "must quote special characters" note with a hint on how to dereference /aliases pointers by omitting the leading "/". This feature was introduced by Kumar Gala as a libfdt enhancement in commit ed035708235332c3c117ee3bb1a426063f03cfcb.

Example:

=> fdt print /aliases aliases { ethernet0 = "/qe@e0100000/ucc@2000"; ethernet1 = "/qe@e0100000/ucc@3000"; serial0 = "/soc8360@e0000000/serial@4500"; serial1 = "/soc8360@e0000000/serial@4600"; pci0 = "/pci@e0008500"; }; => fdt print ethernet0 ucc@2000 { device_type = "network"; compatible = "ucc_geth"; cell-index = <0x1>; reg = <0x2000 0x200>; interrupts = <0x20>; interrupt-parent = <0x2>; local-mac-address = [00 00 00 00 00 00]; rx-clock-name = "none"; tx-clock-name = "clk9"; phy-handle = <0x3>; phy-connection-type = "rgmii-id"; pio-handle = <0x4>; };

Sorry for the duplicate, I forgot to change my u-boot alias in mutt. :-( I am re-sending this to make sure it gets in the denx.de archives.
