Why does the kernel need fdtget and why not use the version from your distro?

Please Cc the DT list next time.

Separate changes by updates to this script, running the script (to get
fdtget.c), and updates to kernel files.

These are needed regardless. Probably a treewide rule for *.lex.c,
*.tab.c, *.tab.h would be better.

We never build libfdt as a library, so how does this work unless it
