Subject: [PATCH] dtc: Ensure #line directives don't consume data from the next line

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

Previously, the #line parsing regex ended with ({WS}+[0-9]+)?. The {WS}
could match line-break characters. If the #line directive did not contain
the optional flags field at the end, this could cause any integer data on
the next line to be consumed as part of the #line directive parsing. This
could cause syntax errors (i.e. #line parsing consuming the leading 0
from a hex constant 0x1234, leaving x1234 to be parsed as cell data,
which is a syntax error), or invalid compilation results (i.e. simply
consuming integer 1234 as part of the #line processing, thus removing it
from the cell data).

Fix this by replacing {WS} with [ \t] so that it can't match line-breaks.

This is a patch for dtc upstream, in response to thread "DTB build
failure due to preproccessing". If/when it's accepted into dtc, I'll
follow up with a kernel patch that makes the same fix.
