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.
Oh, you were planning on taking the dtc update into 3.7? I had assumed
you meant for 3.8. There wouldn't be any dependencies if you take the
dtc update now, so it'd probably be fine.

What more do you think needs discussion re: dtc+cpp?
