+dtb-info node
+----------------
+
+Information that describes where the device tree blob (DTB) came from and the
+environment it was created in.
+
+This node is normally created by including arch/arm/boot/dts/skeleton.dtsi,
+which includes include/dt-bindings/version.dtsi.
+
+Properties:
+
+version
+ The version of the DTB. This is analagous to the linux kernel version.
+
+ This is a format free field intended for human consumption. User space
+ programs should not have any expections about this property.
+
+ The DTB number in this property is incremented each time a make that
+ creates one or more DTBs is invoked. If the make creates multiple
+ DTBs then this number is only incremented once.
+
+ The DTB number is stored in file .version_dtb.
+
+version-linux
+ The version of the linux kernel most recently built in the source
+ control system that contains the source used to build the DTB.
+
+ The linux kernel version number is not incremented for a make that
+ creates a DTB.

+ The build directory relative path of the DTB.
+
