For file scripts/dtc/dtc-parser.y:

This file is maintained in the upstream dtc project.  We pull changes
from that project into the Linux kernel source tree.

The file is located at the root level of the upstream project.

Info on submitting patches is in the upstream file "Documentation/manual.txt":

   1) Sources

   Source code for the Device Tree Compiler can be found at git.kernel.org.

   The upstream repository is here:

       git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git
       https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git

   The gitweb interface for the upstream respository is:

       https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dtc/dtc.git/
