Pull Devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
"The biggest highlight here is the start of using json-schema for DT
bindings. Being able to validate bindings has been discussed for years
with little progress.
- Initial support for DT bindings using json-schema language. This is
the start of converting DT bindings from free-form text to a
structured format.
- Reworking of initrd address initialization. This moves to using the
phys address instead of virt addr in the DT parsing code. This
rework was motivated by CONFIG_DEV_BLK_INITRD causing unnecessary
rebuilding of lots of files.
- Fix stale phandle entries in phandle cache
- DT overlay validation improvements. This exposed several memory
leak bugs which have been fixed.
- Use node name and device_type helper functions in DT code
- Last remaining conversions to using %pOFn printk specifier instead
of device_node.name directly
- Create new common RTC binding doc and move all trivial RTC devices
out of trivial-devices.txt.
- New bindings for Freescale MAG3110 magnetometer, Cadence Sierra
PHY, and Xen shared memory
- Update dtc to upstream version v1.4.7-57-gf267e674d145"
