Given that header files are right now frequently used in both .c and
.S for the #defines, I don't think we can reasonably expect
differently for dts files.  There certainly is the potential for
#include dependency mess, but we cope with it for .S so we can cope
with it for dts as well.

But cpp should definitely be invoked "asm style" for dts files.
