Hi, thank you all! This is outstanding, such a fast feedback! As I
also just ran a tool over the texts, adjusted formatting and
reverted/accepted some changes manually to my knowledge (I'm not a
native speaker). Please, could you clarify the following?

So, I shall revert to the original rather British i.e. "behaviour" and
"rationalise" wording, correct?

Since I found "device tree", "devicetree" and "device-tree", could you
please advice me, what is the preferred term here?

I understand. My tool here claimed to do it a bit more formal. I have
no idea, to be honest. Shall I revert it and better leave as is?
