[PATCH] [POWERPC] Make it blatently clear; 5200 device tree is not yet stable

From: <hidden>
Date: 2007-01-13 23:58:48
Subsystem: documentation, linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Grant Likely <redacted>

Paulus,

Please apply for 2.6.20.  This is documentation only, but I don't want
to give people false assumptions about the stability of the 5200 device
tree bindings
