So split it up.   The obvious one is "here is the unique content, then 
copy these files from dtc git" would have been better.

I finally went and looked at the url.  The Kbuild integration is wrong. 
  It should build dtc in dtc-src and run the binary from there, and the 
rules should be in a Kconfig as a normal host-target in that directory. 
   (I don't have a problem with that Kbuild including Makefie.dtc).

things like the dependancy on scripts_basic in the top level Makefile.
