    [POWERPC] In booting-without-of.txt, clarify that properties must precede subnodes · eff2ebd2
    David Gibson authored
    A strict reading of the flattened device tree format defined in
    booting-without-of.txt does in fact require that all the tags defining
    properties for a node go before any definitions of subnodes, however
    it's not particularly emphasised.  Although allowing intermingled
    properties and subnodes would not be ambiguous in meaning, the kernel
    parser does currently require that properties precede subnodes.
    Furthermore, keeping this constraint makes life easier for various
    device tree scanning tools.
    
    Therefore, re-emphasise in booting-without-of.txt that this is a
    strict requirement of the flattened device tree format.
