I apologize up front if this is the wrong place for these questions.  I'm 
relatively new to the OF Device Tree.  If this is the wrong place, would 
someone point me to the correct discussion location.

1. Is it possible to take an existing kernel build that uses a board file move 
only a small portion into a Device Tree.  I am working on converting a driver 
from supporting only the board file to supporting both the board file and the 
OF Device Tree.  Unfortunately, the only test platform I have with the 
appropriate hardware is a Nexus7 and I'm using the Cyanogenmod build.  This 
uses (or at least appears to use) a board file for the Nexus7.  Is it possible 
to write a small Device Tree description for only the driver I am working on?  
Where would this device tree file be placed? How would I include it in the 
build? Any assistance and/or pointers would be appreciated.

2. Are there any suggestions or hints for searching for OF Device Tree 
information.  The term "device tree" is used pervasively in the linux code and 
various projects to refer to source branches of a particular device type rather 
than the OF Device Tree.  This makes it extremely difficult to isolate 
applicable answers.

Thank you,
