The trouble is that it's not just people who are making a kernel for a specific embedded board that need dtc. These days anyone who wants to try cross-compiling a powerpc kernel and does a make allyesconfig, or who picks cell_defconfig or ps3_defconfig to try, needs dtc if their kernel build is to go all the way through and give them an exit status of 0. I can see that for people who are trying to do the right thing and compile-test their patch across architectures, it's annoying that powerpc has an extra external requirement when no other architecture does, and it usually just means they don't compile-test on powerpc. Of the various options for solving this, including dtc in the kernel sources seems best to me.
