This large patch incorporates a copy of dtc into the kernel source, in
arch/powerpc/boot/dtc-src. This patch only imports the upstream
sources verbatim, a later patches is needed to actually link it into
the kernel Makefiles and use the embedded code during the kernel
build.

Here is a revised set of patches to merge dtc into the kernel tree.
The various methods suggested for doing some sort of automagic git
pull of the dtc repository into the kernel git all appear to me to be
more trouble than they're worth at this stage. So, at this stage this
is just a raw

I think so. It's fairly small and it would mean that people could

The trouble is that it's not just people who are making a kernel for a

Is there a way to embed a default dtb into the kernel?
When I build a kernel, I want to embed a dtb into it --
so I don't have to deal with the headaches of finding the
right file to match the right board (its always easier to
deal with 1 file than 2).
If there is, it makes sense to put dtc into t

I think we should include mkimage *and* dtc. But then, I'm not sure how much
