Hello,

The recent submission of NN-assisted AWB by Raspberry Pi has reminded me
that our policy regarding third-party dependencies is not documented.
This series attemps to fix this issue.

Patches 1/3 and 2/3 improves the documentation organization, to fix
issues I noticed when I looked for the best place to add the
dependencies policy. They should hopefully not be controversial. Patch
3/3 then documents the policy.

Laurent Pinchart (3):
  Documentation: Reorganize the index of the "For Developers" section
  Documentation: Move platform support to user documentation
  Documentation: architecture: Detail policy on dependencies
