+ARM Atmel SoCs (aka AT91)
+=========================
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+This document gives useful information about the ARM Atmel SoCs that are
+currently supported in Linux Mainline (you know, the one on kernel.org).
+
+It is important to note that the Atmel | SMART ARM-based MPU product line is
+historically named "AT91" or "at91" throughout the Linux kernel development
+process even if this product prefix has completely disappeared from the
+official Atmel product name. Anyway, files, directories, git trees,
+git branches/tags and email subject always contain this "at91" sub-string.
+
+
+AT91 SoCs
+---------
+Documentation and detailled datasheet for each product are available on
+the Atmel website: http://www.atmel.com.

+Linux kernel information
+------------------------
+Linux kernel mach directory: arch/arm/mach-at91
+MAINTAINERS entry is: "ARM/ATMEL AT91RM9200 AND AT91SAM ARM ARCHITECTURES"
+
+
+Device Tree for AT91 SoCs and boards
+------------------------------------
+All AT91 SoCs are converted to Device Tree. Since Linux 3.19, these products
+must use this method to boot the Linux kernel.
+
+Work In Progress statement:
+Device Tree files and Device Tree bindings that apply to AT91 SoCs and boards are
+considered as "Unstable". To be completely clear, any at91 binding can change at
+any time. So, be sure to use a Device Tree Binary and a Kernel Image generated from
+the same source tree.
+Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ABI.txt file for a
+definition of a "Stable" binding/ABI.
+This statement will be removed by AT91 MAINTAINERS when appropriated.
+
+Naming conventions and best practice:
+- SoCs Device Tree Source Include files are named after the official name of
+  the product (at91sam9g20.dtsi or sama5d33.dtsi for instance).
+- Device Tree Source Include files (.dtsi) are used to collect common nodes that can be
+  shared across SoCs or boards (sama5d3.dtsi or at91sam9x5cm.dtsi for instance).
+  When collecting nodes for a particular peripheral or topic, the identifier have to
+  be placed at the end of the file name, separated with a "_" (at91sam9x5_can.dtsi
+  or sama5d3_gmac.dtsi for example).
+- board Device Tree Source files (.dts) are prefixed by the string "at91-" so
+  that they can be identified easily. Note that the sama5d3[13456]ek.dts files
+  are an historical exception to this rule.

While this statement is here, at the end of the day if you break a user
you're responsible for fixing them. I.e. if a tree falls in the forest
and nobody notices, then so be it.

But you can't break existing users and point to this and get away with
it. However, hopefully based on this doc users will go with practices
that means that you can revise bindings if you have to.

In fact, this set of boards are not the only exception. I will rephrase
the sentence as:
"Note that some files are historical exceptions to this rule
(sama5d3[13456]ek.dts, usb_a9g20.dts or animeo_ip.dts for example)."

In fact, this set of boards are not the only exception. I will rephrase
the sentence as:
