From 9f8b382ed45e7a3ca114c1a371ce6b6edc4b3ed5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2023 17:23:27 +0200 Subject: manual: Fix and improve documentation about -@ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Device trees with a /plugin/ tag ("overlays") generate a __fixups__ node when needed and independent of -q being given or not. The same is true for __local__fixups__. So don't mention these two nodes in the paragraph about -@. To not shorten the description too much, describe the semantic of the properties contained in the generated __symbols__ node.
