That's correct.
TBH, I think its wrong to keep them in the kernel source at all--yes,
the same argument could be made for arch/powerpc/boot but that's been
settled.
We already have dtc kept externally to the kernel source. Why not
keep a single site where all things necessary to powerpc linux are kept?
It could house dtc, the dt attach tool, and all the dt source files.
I doesn't matter to me where as long as its highly available and has
reasonable bandwidth. jdl.com? source.mvista.com? penguinppc.org?
other?
