These two patches are a respin of my previous patch to merge a  
copy of
dtc into the kernel tree, so that kernel builds no longer depend  
on an
externally installed copy of dtc.

This respin embeds a newer revision of dtc, and incorporates Sam
Ravnborg's preferred approach to Makefile integration.  Also,  
since so
many people whinged about it last time, I've split the patch into  
two
parts, the first is the too-large-for-the-list patch just verbatim
adding files and the second has the changes to existing kernel files
to build and use the embedded code.

What about doing part of this via git-submodule?

Uh.. where do I find out what that does?  My version of git (Ubuntu
gutsy) doesn't seem to know anything about it...

Take a look at:
