This was copied from external DTC repository long back and isn't used
anymore. Over that the dtc tool can be used to generate the dts source
back from the dtb. Remove the unused fdtdump.c file.

Doesn't this make updating the kernel dtc from upstream needlessly
more difficult?

Hmm, I am not sure I understand the concern well. The kernel keeps a
list of files[1] it needs to automatically copy (using a script) from
the upstream dtc repo and fdtdump.c was never part of that. Keeping it
there isn't going to make any difficulty I believe.
