[PATCH v5 2/8] ARM: dts: aspeed: yosemite5: Remove ambiguous power monitor DTS nodes

Hi Kevin,

Sorry for the patchy replies so far, but this series bothers me and
other priorities keep bumping it down the list.

There are effective methods of maintaining devicetrees for variants.
Why are we choosing to remove information about the platform rather
than use existing techniques to properly describe them?

As a separate problem to the one above, while you may run OpenBMC on
this platform, I'd rather keep the description abstract. We can finish
the sentence at "... is instead handled in user space" and remove the
rest.
