Firstly, all the fixes land in the Linux mainline tree, then at every
rc* release those would be mirrored into devicetree-rebasing repo. And
then if there is a critical fix to address DT ABI breakage for U-Boot
(for at least a single board) then they just need to notify us with
the fix commit ID to be picked up. Or if people are willing to use the
dts/update-dts-subtree.sh script themselves then we are happy to
accept patches too.

BTW, we will also work with Linux DT maintainers to improve DT ABI
maintenance towards U-Boot.

No, we don't have to backport all the fixes as they will make their
way automatically via the next subtree pull. As above we are only
concerned about fixes which are required to maintain DT ABI towards
U-Boot.

Fair, let me add a message specifying the command used to add a git
remote automatically for a user.

Ack.

Looks better.

Sure, how about the following?

'param1' -> '<op>'
'param2' -> '<ref>'

Sure.
