Dirk Mueller e33a814e77 scripts/dtc: Remove redundant YYLOC global declaration
gcc 10 will default to -fno-common, which causes this error at link
time:

  (.text+0x0): multiple definition of `yylloc'; dtc-lexer.lex.o (symbol from plugin):(.text+0x0): first defined here

This is because both dtc-lexer as well as dtc-parser define the same
global symbol yyloc. Before with -fcommon those were merged into one
defintion. The proper solution would be to to mark this as "extern",
however that leads to:

  dtc-lexer.l:26:16: error: redundant redeclaration of 'yylloc' [-Werror=redundant-decls]
   26 | extern YYLTYPE yylloc;
      |                ^~~~~~
In file included from dtc-lexer.l:24:
dtc-parser.tab.h:127:16: note: previous declaration of 'yylloc' was here
  127 | extern YYLTYPE yylloc;
      |                ^~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

which means the declaration is completely redundant and can just be
dropped.

Grant Likely 706b78f37f dtc: ensure #line directives don't consume data from the next line
Previously, the #line parsing regex ended with ({WS}+[0-9]+)?. The {WS}
could match line-break characters. If the #line directive did not contain
the optional flags field at the end, this could cause any integer data on
the next line to be consumed as part of the #line directive parsing. This
could cause syntax errors (i.e. #line parsing consuming the leading 0
from a hex literal 0x1234, leaving x1234 to be parsed as cell data,
which is a syntax error), or invalid compilation results (i.e. simply
consuming literal 1234 as part of the #line processing, thus removing it
from the cell data).

Fix this by replacing {WS} with [ \t] so that it can't match line-breaks.

Convert all instances of {WS}, even though the other instances should be
irrelevant for any well-formed #line directive. This is done for
consistency and ultimate safety.

Stephen Warren cd296721a9 dtc: import latest upstream dtc
This updates scripts/dtc to commit 317a5d9 "dtc: zero out new label
objects" from git://git.jdl.com/software/dtc.git.

This adds features such as:
* /bits/ syntax for cell data.
* Math expressions within cell data.
* The ability to delete properties or nodes.
* Support for #line directives in the input file, which allows the use of
  cpp on *.dts.
* -i command-line option (/include/ path)
* -W/-E command-line options for error/warning control.
* Removal of spew to STDOUT containing the filename being compiled.
* Many additions to the libfdt API.

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.

Josh Triplett 23c4ace526 dtc: Set "noinput" in the lexer to avoid an unused function
Regenerate the corresponding generated lexer.

Regenerating the lexer with current flex also provides prototypes for
various yy* functions, making some -Wmissing-prototypes warnings go away
as well.

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.
