Are you sure your patch is fixing the host-dtc build issues ?

I am seeing two different build issues:

 - One for host-dtc, which looks like this:

	 INSTALL-PYLIB
pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c: In function 'SWIG_Python_NewShadowInstance':
pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c:2483:65: error: declaration of 'swig_this' shadows a global declaration [-Werror=shadow]
 SWIG_Python_NewShadowInstance(SwigPyClientData *data, PyObject *swig_this)
                                                                 ^
pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c:2224:18: error: shadowed declaration is here [-Werror=shadow]
 static PyObject *swig_this = NULL;

 - One for dtc, which looks like this:

	 LD fdtoverlay

Your patch probably fixes the "dtc" issue, but I'm not sure it fixes the host-dtc issue.

Patches should be Git formatted, have a description and a Signed-off-by.

Do we know why it was working before, and why it fails since the dtc update ?
