I may be missing something, but if you hand-edit the patches so that 
they are still valid patches, they will apply cleanly.  In my hand 
editing, I cut out all patch hunks to non-existing (for me) files (from 
the patch's file name header to the next file name header).  This is 
simply a delete operation so it is pretty hard to screw up.  I also 
changed the file paths for all file references to libfdt.h which is 
simply a substitution problem, again hard to screw up.

I don't know how complex your starting point patches are, so that may be 
what I'm missing.

Note that the MD5 hash will be different between my edited patch and the 
original patch, so you won't be able to correlate the u-boot/libfdt 
patch directly to the DTC/libfdt patch, but that would happen anyway.
