Device tree compiler

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to port a MPC8248-based board from ppc to powerpc.

While looking for example DTS files I found out that the Linux kernel sourc=
es=20
include a few of them in arch/powerpc/boot/dts. However, they don't compile=
=20
with the latest device-tree compiler available at=20
git://ozlabs.org/srv/projects/dtc/dtc.git.

One of the most common error comes from references to the PIC using a node=
=20
name instead of a linux,phandler value. As most DTS files in the kernel=20
sources fail to compile, I was wondering if there was another DTC I was not=
=20
aware of, or if those files have actually never been compiled.

Best regards,

=2D-=20

Because that is ancient.  Use the one from:

git://www.jdl.com/software/dtc.git

Someone should really fix up the ozlabs page to stop pointing at
outdated versions of DTC.
