As long as you have the original device tree source code to hand. I tend 
to find that the guy who sent me the device tree and kernel for me to 
test, has gone to bed and will not be back for 8 to 10 hours. Rather 
than hang around, on the event that I think it's a device tree problem I 
tend to ftdump to see what's going on.

It might have some use somewhere someday, but yeah.. I guess.. bringing 
it out from a build into a package is kind of a dumb idea.
