+--------------------------

+  Device-tree-compatible SH bootloaders are expected to provide the physical
+  address of the device tree blob in r4. Since legacy bootloaders did not
+  guarantee any particular initial register state, kernels built to
+  inter-operate with old bootloaders must either use a builtin DTB or
+  select a legacy board option (something other than CONFIG_SH_DEVICE_TREE)
+  that does not use device tree. Support for the latter is being phased out
+  in favor of device tree.
