ARM: dts: explicitly mark skeleton.dtsi as deprecated

mrutland-arm · arndb · commit 9c0da3cc61f1 · 2016-09-13T17:28:14.000+02:00
As noted in commit 3ebee5a ("arm64: dts: kill skeleton.dtsi"), there are a number of problems with skeleton.dtsi, and it would be prefereable to remove it entirely. As there are a large number of existing users, fixing these up will take a while. This patch adds a note to arm's skeleton.dtsi noting that this is the case, to make this more obvious and hopefully minimize new uptake of skeleton.dtsi in the mean time.

  * Skeleton device tree; the bare minimum needed to boot; just include and
