Thanks Bruce for the comments.
The reason for considering this was to stay consistent with DPDK and the changes seem to be small.

IMO (it still need to be discussed in WG), the DTS will stay separated from the rest of the code (though under the same repo). For ex: the documentation building might not be integrated with DPDK doc build. This will ensure that DPDK doc build times are not affected. But, we could have a different target to build DTS doc at the root level.

It makes sense to differ this to a later point.
