Merge tag 'devicetree-for-4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux
Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
- vsprintf format specifier %pOF for device_node's. This will enable us
to stop storing the full node names. Conversion of users will happen
next cycle.
- Update documentation to point to DT specification instead of ePAPR.
- Split out graph and property functions to a separate file.
- New of-graph functions for ALSA
- Add vendor prefixes for RISC-V, Linksys, iWave Systems, Roofull,
Itead, and BananaPi.
- Improve dtx_diff utility filename printing.
