Actually in every Tegra board dts file, there is a model string to 
describe this machine as well as a compatible board string, just like 
the "nvidia,beaver". So do we still need put this duplicated information 
in a document file? Or if this is the requirement of DeviceTree. I will 
do that. I think we have 12 boards need to add such document currently.

Thanks and happy new year.
