From c9dcc63e23fe3a3d321c4883c7824cc4d93f5dfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Rini Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2021 10:24:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: dt: submitting-patches: Add note about other project usage In an attempt to make it more broadly known that other projects are equal consumers / users of the device tree bindings, add a note to submitting patches to say that extra care and consideration may need to be taken when updating existing bindings.
