So, like, the other day Kumar Gala mumbled:

Jon,

It seems like have libfdt as a unique git repo that is a  
submodule of
the things that need it (dtc, u-boot, etc.) might make some  
sense and  it
easier for the projects that need to pull it in.

Is this something you can take a look at? (or have other ideas on).
I would be fine with making libfdt a git repository separate
from the DTC repository if that makes it easier to integrate
it with other projects.
I don't think it's a good idea to make dtc and libfdt entirely
seperate repositories (again).  Being able to use both together in
their combined testsuite is very useful (libfdt is used to check trees
generated by dtc, dtc is used to generate example trees for libfdt
testing).

I'm not sure how submodules/subrepositories work so I don't know if
that makes sense.
I believe submodules will accomplish this (at least from what I can  
tell).
I'm not too keen on using a git feature that's more recent than the
git in most distros.
