Subject: [PATCH] manual: Fix and improve documentation about -@
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2023 17:28:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230424152802.96250-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Device trees with a /plugin/ tag ("overlays") generate a __fixups__ node
when needed and independent of -q being given or not. The same is true for
__local__fixups__. So don't mention these two nodes in the paragraph about
-@.
To not shorten the description too much, describe the semantic of the
properties contained in the generated __symbols__ node.
