-U-Boot FDT Overlay usage
-=============================================
-
-Overlays Syntax
----------------
-
-Overlays require slightly different syntax compared to traditional overlays.
-Please refer to dt-object-internal.txt in the dtc sources for information
-regarding the internal format of overlays:
-https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git/tree/Documentation/dt-object-internal.txt
-
-Building Overlays
------------------
-
-In a nutshell overlays provides a means to manipulate a symbol a previous dtb
-or overlay has defined. It requires both the base and all the overlays
-to be compiled with the -@ command line switch so that symbol information is
-included.
-
-Note support for -@ option can only be found in dtc version 1.4.4 or newer.
-Only version 4.14 or higher of the Linux kernel includes a built in version
-of dtc that meets this requirement.
-
-Building an overlay follows the same process as building a traditional dtb.
-
-For example:
-
-base.dts
---------
-
- /dts-v1/;
- / {
- foo: foonode {
- foo-property;
- };
- };
-
- $ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o base.dtb base.dts
-
-bar.dts
--------
-
- /dts-v1/;
- /plugin/;
- / {
- fragment@1 {
- target = <&foo>;
- __overlay__ {
- overlay-1-property;
- bar: barnode {
- bar-property;
- };
- };
- };
- };
-
- $ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o bar.dtb bar.dts
-
-Ways to Utilize Overlays in U-boot
-----------------------------------
-
-There are two ways to apply overlays in U-boot.
-1. Include and define overlays within a FIT image and have overlays
- automatically applied.
-
-2. Manually load and apply overlays
-
-The remainder of this document will discuss using overlays via the manual
-approach. For information on using overlays as part of a FIT image please see:
-doc/uImage.FIT/overlay-fdt-boot.txt
-
-Manually Loading and Applying Overlays
---------------------------------------
-
-1. Figure out where to place both the base device tree blob and the
-overlay. Make sure you have enough space to grow the base tree without
-overlapping anything.
-
-=> setenv fdtaddr 0x87f00000
-=> setenv fdtovaddr 0x87fc0000
-
-2. Load the base blob and overlay blobs
-
-=> load ${devtype} ${bootpart} ${fdtaddr} ${bootdir}/base.dtb
-=> load ${devtype} ${bootpart} ${fdtovaddr} ${bootdir}/overlay.dtb
-
-3. Set it as the working fdt tree.
-
-=> fdtaddr $fdtaddr
-
-4. Grow it enough so it can 'fit' all the applied overlays
-
-=> fdt resize 8192
-
-5. You are now ready to apply the overlay.
-
-=> fdt apply $fdtovaddr
-
-6. Boot system like you would do with a traditional dtb.
-
-For bootm:
-
-=> bootm ${kerneladdr} - ${fdtaddr}
-
-For bootz:
-
-=> bootz ${kerneladdr} - ${fdtaddr}
-
-Please note that in case of an error, both the base and overlays are going
-to be invalidated, so keep copies to avoid reloading.

+Device Tree Overlays
+====================
+
+Overlay Syntax
+--------------
+
+Device-tree overlays require a slightly different syntax compared to traditional
+device-trees. Please refer to dt-object-internal.txt in the device-tree compiler
+sources for information regarding the internal format of overlays:
+https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git/tree/Documentation/dt-object-internal.txt
+
+Building Overlays
+-----------------
+
+In a nutshell overlays provides a means to manipulate a symbol a previous
+device-tree or device-tree overlay has defined. It requires both the base
+device-tree and all the overlays to be compiled with the *-@* command line
+switch of the device-tree compiler so that symbol information is included.
+
+Note
+ Support for *-@* option can only be found in dtc version 1.4.4 or newer.
+ Only version 4.14 or higher of the Linux kernel includes a built in version
+ of dtc that meets this requirement.
+
+Building a binary device-tree overlay follows the same process as building a
+traditional binary device-tree. For example:
+
+**base.dts**
+
+::
+
+ /dts-v1/;
+ / {
+ foo: foonode {
+ foo-property;
+ };
+ };
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o base.dtb base.dts
+
+**overlay.dts**
+
+::
+
+ /dts-v1/;
+ /plugin/;
+ / {
+ fragment@1 {
+ target = <&foo>;
+ __overlay__ {
+ overlay-1-property;
+ bar: barnode {
+ bar-property;
+ };
