[POWERPC] In booting-without-of.txt, clarify that properties must precede subnodes
A strict reading of the flattened device tree format defined in booting-without-of.txt does in fact require that all the tags defining properties for a node go before any definitions of subnodes, however it's not particularly emphasised. Although allowing intermingled properties and subnodes would not be ambiguous in meaning, the kernel parser does currently require that properties precede subnodes. Furthermore, keeping this constraint makes life easier for various device tree scanning tools. Therefore, re-emphasise in booting-without-of.txt that this is a strict requirement of the flattened device tree format.
