Grant Likely c8a3e6a866 scripts/dtc: Add a script to update to mainline dtc source
A very simple script that automates pulling in a newer version of DTC.
Not particularly robust, but a whole lot better than doing it by hand
every time.

Grant Likely 73ab39b14c scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.4.0
Update to the latest version of dtc with the following notable
enhancements and bug fixes:

* fdtput: expand fdt if value does not fit
* dtc/fdt{get, put}/convert-dtsv0-lexer: convert to new usage helpers
* libfdt: Add fdt_next_subnode() to permit easy subnode iteration
* utilfdt_read: pass back up the length of data read
* util_version: new helper for displaying version info
* die: constify format string arg
* utilfdt_read_err: use xmalloc funcs
* Export fdt_stringlist_contains()
* dtc: Drop the '-S is deprecated' warning
* dtc/libfdt: sparse fixes
* dtc/libfdt: introduce fdt types for annotation by endian checkers
* Fix util_is_printable_string
* dtc: srcpos_verror() should print to stderr
* libfdt: Added missing functions to shared library

Shipped bison/flex generated files were built on an Ubuntu 13.10 system.

John Bonesio 658f29a51e of/flattree: Update dtc to current mainline.
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 feature allows us to include a basic dts file and then
provide more information for the specific system through the merging
functionality.

David Gibson 9fffb55f66 Move dtc and libfdt sources from arch/powerpc/boot to scripts/dtc
The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree
to supply device information.  On systems without OF, this comes from
a flattened device tree blob.  This blob is usually generated by dtc,
a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the
flattened format used by the kernel.  Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes
small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in
the size of RAM).  To do this it uses the libfdt library.

Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools
is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are
periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree).

However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for
merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs.  A few
other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc.
Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into
scripts, where it can be used by any architecture.

The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting
the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new
locations.
