Pull in recent changes from the main dtc repository. These changes primarily
allow multiple device trees to be declared which are merged by dtc. This

Jon & David, I'll need your input on whether or not this is the best
way to handle updating the dtc copy in the kernel tree.

g.
Grant,

Yeah, I wondered too. :-)  David added it and updated
in the kernel last round, so he may have some good notion
of what would be best there.
For now I think just a direct diff updating the in-kernel dtc to
current upstream is the simplest approach.  This is how I made the
original commit.

There may be better methods to directly arrange for pulling of the dtc
git tree into the kernel git tree, but I have not had time to
investigate and set up such a scheme.
