We don't want to encourage the bogus device_type usage.

The device type isn't used in the code, so we can simply remove it from
the documentation and dts files.

Boards should specify proper compatible entries instead.

I didn't forget your comment. ;-) Here is a cleanup patch for
the documentation and dts files.
