Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] Documentation: devicetree: root node board-revision property documentation

Board revision is hardware revision for board. Meaning of hardware
revision is defined by device/SoM manufacturer and because of that it is
defined as a string.

Board revision information can be stored in hardware identifier resistors,
eFuses, EEPROM or some other device specific non-volatile storage. It is
expected that bootloader will analyse board revision information and pass
it in device tree to kernel.
