What gives?  Why is explicit hex sometimes an error and sometimes not?

Because we changed the format at one point.  Originally (the "dts-v0"
format) it was implicitly hex everywhere, which turned out to be a
mistake.  So we introduced the new dts-v1 format which uses C-style
literals.  New-style files are marked with a /dts-v1/; token at the
top of the file.

Gotcha, thanks.  Not sure where I picked up the dts-v0 file I based
my platform on, but at least now I understand the magic.

Is the format of this file documented anywhere (I've not found it)?

It's in Documentation/dts-format.txt in the dtc tree.  I don't think
that's been included in the version of dtc in the kernel tree, though,
so you'll need to download the standalone dtc.


Where do I find this "dtc" tree?
