Remove both.

After "This dedicated compatible is used by bootloaders" there is
an implicit "in the SDK provided by ST Microelectronics", and that
is of no concern for DT bindings, which are (well, in theory) used by
e.g. BSD or other operating systems and who knows what they will
use and not, we don't put Linux specifics in there, neither Boot
loader specifics nor ST SDK specifics.

At least that is the little bureaucratic ambition we have.
