9The document tries to describe currently used interface between Linux kernel
10and boot loaders on Samsung Exynos based boards. This is not a definition
11of interface but rather a description of existing state, a reference
12for information purpose only.

14In the document "boot loader" means any of following: U-boot, proprietary
15SBOOT or any other firmware for ARMv7 and ARMv8 initializing the board before
16executing kernel.
