    arm/docs: Clarify legacy DT bindings on UEFI
    
    Since the introduction of UEFI boot for Xen, the legacy
    compatible strings were not supported and the stub code
    was checking only the presence of â??multiboot,moduleâ?? to
    require the Xen UEFI configuration file or not.
    The documentation was not updated to specify that behavior.
    
    Add a phrase to docs/misc/arm/device-tree/booting.txt
    to clarify it.
