That's odd. I just tried both v1.3.0 and master dtc, and could compile
your example just fine. I also compiled
arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra-cardhu.dts from the kernel (next-20120411). Both
worked fine.

Note that I get the error you're seeing if I run Ubuntu's packaged dtc,
which is 1.1.0.dfsg-1build1 on my system. Are you sure you're running
the dtc binary you think you are?
