Do we have a utility that can diff two device trees.  What I'm
looking for is something that has some context awareness.  It can
deal with (p)handle values being different, properties in a node in
different order, etc.

I hacked something together which sorts the two trees and then diffs
the output, but that is rather a hack.

You mean like the "dtdiff" script that's in the dtc repo...

 I don't think anyone has put
together a context sensitive dt diff tool.

What would you envisage this tool doing?
