"Ease of parsing" may have been the initial argument for keeping this string in lower-case, but parsers may have been written that expect lower-case only. For example, the one in released kernels currently does not behave correctly for multi-letter extensions that begin with a capital letter. Allowing upper-case here brings about no benefit but would break compatibility between new devicetrees and older kernels. Drop the comment to avoid confusing people.

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.
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.
