Hmmm, we should be shipping .dtb files with the tree, so people don't
have to have dtc installed.

Really?  I don't think we're quite ready for that.  Particularly for the
embedded boards.  Those DTS files still get lots of churn, and having to
update both the .dts and .dtb at the same time seems a bit fragile.

I sort of prefer this option in theory, but it's basically
impossible.  People updating dts files by patch would also have to
update the dtb, which can't be done in a normal patch, since they're
binary.

I'm working with sfr now on importing dtc into the kernel tree.
