Quite a lot of dts files have hyphens, but its only a problem on MIPS
where such files can be built into the kernel. For example when
CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y, or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is
used (in the latter case it admitedly shouldn't really build all the
dtb.o files, but thats a separate issue).

I'll keep the paragraph about MIPS and the example configuration though,
as I think its important information to reproduce the problem, and to
justify why it wouldn't be appropriate to just rename the files (which
was my first reaction).

Other than the part that says "its only a problem on MIPS".  That is
pedantically correct because no other architecture (that I am aware
of, not that I searched) currently has a devicetree source file name
with a hyphen in it, where that file is compiled into the kernel as
an asm file.  But it is potentially a problem on any architecture
to it is misleading to label it as MIPS only.

Okay I'll reword to make it clearer and do a v2.

Thanks
