Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/5] [powerpc] Fix up fsl-flexcan device tree binding.

I guess my poor wording may have gotten me in trouble.  I am getting
ready to repost this patch, but I want to ensure I am getting it as
right as possible.

I think I should reword the commit message to indicate we are removing
the Documentation/.../fsl-flexcan.txt file which has essentially become
empty and change the p1010si.dtsi file's can nodes to "fsl,p1010-flexcan",
"fsl,flexcan".  Is that correct?

Thanks,
Robin
