* efi_stub: update documentation on dtb= parameterGrant Likely2018-09-091-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dtb= parameter is no longer the primary mechanism for providing a devicetree to the kernel. Now either firmware or the boot selector (ex. Grub) should provide the devicetree and dtb= should only be used for debug or when using firmware that doesn't understand DT. Update the EFI stub documentation to reflect the current usage.

* efi-stub.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab2017-07-141-10/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - use proper markups for titles; - identify literal blocks.
