In 2011 the commit bf859f84a1
("gpio/dt: Refine GPIO device tree binding") introduced an
experimental BNF notation for defining a regular grammar for
the GPIO phandles used by different devices.
This was an interesting approach, and shows that we have long
nutured the idea to formally verify device tree files using
regular grammar.
Most if not all other bindings use natural language to define
the bindings, and the recent thinking for verifying device
tree files is to use JSON schemas in separate definitions.
Cut the BNF business and replace it with natural language
so that it becomes more human-readable for now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
