For dtc.h, this is wrong - dtc uses the structures in fdt.h, but
(deliberately) nothing in libfdt.h.

For the other cases, I'm a bit undecided.  As you say, the individual
includes are redundant.  In some cases the explicit inclusions kind of
document that the C code has direct dependencies on the stuff in
libfdt_env.h and fdt.h as well as the indirect dependencies from the
libfdt.h API.  I'm not really sold either way.
