[PATCH 1/2] docs: dt: submitting-patches: drop outdated points to TXT format

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

New bindings in TXT format are not accepted and DT schema format expects
all compatibles to be explicitly defined, thus guidance about "wildcard
<chip>" is not correct anymore.  Drop that paragraph and update one more
place which still mentions TXT files.
