This updates scripts/dtc to commit 317a5d9 "dtc: zero out new label
objects" from git://git.jdl.com/software/dtc.git.

This adds features such as:
* /bits/ syntax for cell data.
* Math expressions within cell data.
* The ability to delete properties or nodes.
* Support for #line directives in the input file, which allows the use of
  cpp on *.dts.
* -i command-line option (/include/ path)
* -W/-E command-line options for error/warning control.
* Removal of spew to STDOUT containing the filename being compiled.
* Many additions to the libfdt API.

Seems dtc doesn't really have a maintainer. Probably makes more sense
for me to take this unless there are objections.
Will you also take the two kbuild patches I posted that depend on this
(e.g. "kbuild: introduce cmd_dtc_cpp")? I'd assumed that Michal Marek
would take this given the dependencies and that he's take a fair number
of dtc patches recently.
No. I think whether we use the cpp preprocessor or not needs more time
to discuss and some level of agreement. So I don't think it is 3.7 material.
