The example in section "UEFI boot and dom0less on ARM" has
a wrong compatible for the DTB passthrough, it is "ramdisk"
instead of "device-tree".
This patch fixes the example.
Fixes: a1743fc3a9 ("arm/efi: Use dom0less configuration when using EFI boot")

Question: Does it makes sense to backport it to 4.16?

I have re-wrapped the commit message to 72-characters rather than
58-characters.

The sha1 should be 12-characters for Fixes tag. You can configure git to
ouput one for you. See [1] for more details.

I think so. I would tend to read the same documentation as the version
of Xen I am using. Documentation patches are also not considered risky.
Stefano can you add it in your backport list?
