dtc 1.4.6 was released 2018/01/03 with various additional checks and bugfixes, as well as support for some syntactic sugar for overlays that allows the following:
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; &foo { status = "okay"; };
Issues addressed by the previous patches have been fixed upstream, and some work is in progress to address the two patches added here.
While here, hook up the test suite.
