/**
* DOC: KHO Serialization Blocks ABI
*
* Subsystems using the KHO Serialization Blocks framework rely on the stable
* Application Binary Interface defined below to pass serialized state from a
* pre-update kernel to a post-update kernel.
*
* This interface is a contract. Any modification to the structure fields,
* compatible strings, or the layout of the `__packed` serialization
* structures defined here constitutes a breaking change. Such changes require
* incrementing the version number in the `KHO_FDT_COMPATIBLE` string to
* prevent a new kernel from misinterpreting data from an old kernel.
*
* Changes are allowed provided the compatibility version is incremented;
* however, backward/forward compatibility is only guaranteed for kernels
* supporting the same ABI version.
