Nope. There are several commands in the script that can fail in
normal operation, but the script needs to continue.

-S is just an easier option to use than -s if the script is run from within
the linux kernel source tree if it is a git repo. If the script is run
from the root of the tree then there is no need to specify -s or -S -- it
just works.

The script needs to invoke dtc differently for a source dts (it
needs to preprocess with cpp) so we need this check here
anyway.

Yep, ARCH is a pain. But it is used in the kernel build of dt files.
See "dtc_cpp_flags" in scripts/Makefile.lib. I'm not sure why I
have dt-bindings in there though. I'll have to check that.

Yes it is irrelevant. The only reason I included it was just to future
proof for if anyone snuck anything else into the DTC_FLAGS in the future.
I'll just remove this section (resolving the issue with working around
the location of the PPC makefile too).
