Why are we talking about sysfs in the devicetree binding? This patch
doesn't seem right to me.

Also if we're not supporting the aspeed,alt-boot property we should
probably document it as deprecated rather than making it disappear,
unless you're going to fix the systems that are using it.

Correct; this is the wrong document. The attribute also will need
to be better explained. "At alternate side" does not explain (at
least not at all clearly enough) that the attribute only exists
if the system has booted from the alternate flash / block.

Sorry, you lost me here. Where is it made to disappear ?

Oh, hah, I read the bullet '-' as a diff marker. Maybe I should go back to
bed!

What's sysfs?

Don't put Linux stuff in bindings.
