Now that all in-kernel-tree DTS files are properly /dts-v1/, remove direct support for the older, un-numbered DTS source file format.Um.. why? I just don't see a compelling reason to remove this backwards compatibility. It costs us very little to keep it around indefinitely.Because we are going to get rid of the cruft, simplify things, and move forward. Really. This was the plan from the onset.
Uh.. removing compatibility for the old format was never part of *my* plan for the change. Discourage any further use of the v0 format, yes, remove support for, no. I just don't see a benefit to this. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
