I think there's value in having a generic DTS as an example or
template, even if it doesn't correspond to any specific machine.
Agreed a comment block explaining this is valuable.

I'd almost oppose any attempt to include a standard DTS for things
like ML401 boards etc - they are just misleading.  Unless we do MD5
hashes on MHS files, and use them as the filenames, any attempt to
define a standard platform will just fail and confuse people.  Better
to show them how to generate the DTS for their system.

I agree.  I think Michal is just copying Xilinx's habit of putting
copyright headers in generated files, and it's one that we should stop
now.
