From 2d216434c9bc3f1416bff6f7fb37c3babce23504 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rahul Thakoor Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 14:15:17 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] Remove incorrect dtoverlay parsing info The previous documentation for `BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_dtoverlay` described string-parsing behavior (e.g., quote handling for line splitting) that is no longer true as of supervisor v16+ This commit removes the outdated and incorrect information and points users directly to the official Raspberry Pi documentation, which is the correct reference.
