ep88xc_defconfig doesn't build

[Olof Johansson]

Hi,

Did it ever?! I get this with current mainline when building default target:

  WRAP    arch/powerpc/boot/cuImage.8xx
DTC: dts->dtb  on file "/work/work/linux/k.org/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ep88xc.dts"
ERROR: Missing /chosen node
Input tree has errors
  WRAP    arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.ep88xc

I think you must have an old dtc; I'm pretty sure I removed the check
for /chosen some time ago.  But then I also thought we added a force
to the dtc commant line in wrapper ages ago, so now I'm a bit confused.

Current dtc has a -v option.  Trying to verify it in Makefile (or more
to the point in the wrapper script) would be a bit.. messy (since the
necessary version kind of depends on the dts file anyway).

Avoiding this sort of hassle is why I'd like to put a copy of dtc in
the kernel tree.

Hrm, seems like I had an old version. It's a little annoying that it's a
moving target and it's impossible to find out form a built binary which
version it is, besides trying to guess based on file time stamps.

A nice enhancement could be to have a "dtc -v" and have the makefile
verify it before using it.

Looks like current versions do have "-v", my old one didn't. Apologies.
