0febebd36e scripts/dtc: dtx_diff: remove broken example from help text
commit d8adf5b92a9d2205620874d498c39923ecea8749 upstream.

dtx_diff suggests to use <(...) syntax to pipe two inputs into it, but
this has never worked: The /proc/self/fds/... paths passed by the shell
will fail the `[ -f "${dtx}" ] && [ -r "${dtx}" ]` check in compile_to_dts,
but even with this check removed, the function cannot work: hexdump will
eat up the DTB magic, making the subsequent dtc call fail, as a pipe
cannot be rewound.

Simply remove this broken example, as there is already an alternative one
that works fine.

ca0cd118a1 scripts/dtc: dt_to_config - kernel config options for a devicetree
Determining which kernel config options need to be enabled for a
given devicetree can be a painful process.  Create a new tool to
find the drivers that may match a devicetree node compatible,
find the kernel config options that enable the driver, and
optionally report whether the kernel config option is enabled.

60c7f4cb1f scripts/dtc: dtx_diff - add info to error message
If kernel config options are not properly set, "make scripts" will not
compile dtc.  Update the unable to find dtc error message to check
the kernel config and give better advice on how to create dtc.

Reword another error message to increase clarity.

10eadc253d dtc: create tool to diff device trees
Create script to diff device trees.

The device tree can be in any of the forms recognized by the dtc compiler:
  - source
  - binary blob
  - file system tree (from /proc/devicetree)

If the device tree is a source file, then it is pre-processed in the
same way as it would be when built in the linux kernel source tree
before diffing.
