Here is a revised set of patches to merge dtc into the kernel tree.
The various methods suggested for doing some sort of automagic git
pull of the dtc repository into the kernel git all appear to me to be
more trouble than they're worth at this stage. So, at this stage this
is just a raw patch
This large patch incorporates a copy of dtc into the kernel source, in
arch/powerpc/boot/dtc-src. This patch only imports the upstream
sources verbatim, a later patches is needed to actually link it into
the kernel Makefiles and use the embedded code during the kernel
build.

So, like, the other day David Woodhouse mumbled:
I think this is a bad idea -- it's hardly a difficult for those people
who _do_ need dts to obtain it separately.
We shouldn't be merging _more_ stuff in.

As long as I can just ignore it and use the separately-shipped dtc, I
