It's ok with me, fwiw.

However, you should be aware that the patch is for the out-of-tree
devicetree compiler at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git,
which is not the same as in-tree compiler.

I could send you an edited patch that applies cleanly to the
in-tree compiler but I don't know how Rob and Grant feel about that.
