Subject: [PATCH 0/3] scripts: get_abi.pl: some additional fixes and doc update

Hi Greg,

This small series address a couple of issues I noticed while testing it
on an arm64 board (HiKey970). Those are addressed on patches 1
and 2.

Patch 2 is the real fix: it prevents creating aliases for nodes that
are ignored (specially for /sys/firmware, where there's no documentation
for the files created there under Documentation/ABI - nor it makes
sense to have it).

Patch 1 prevents similar cases, as it will produce an error if a
symlink is pointing to an entry that was not added at the internal
representation of the sysfs.

Patch 3 just update a few things at the documentation inside the
script.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (3):
  scripts: get_abi.pl: produce an error if the ref tree is broken
  scripts: get_abi.pl: fix parse logic for DT firmware
  scripts: get_abi.pl: update its documentation
