Yes, absolutely.

However, the dtc code is horrible. I have sprinkled annotations all over
the dtc code and I still have not figured out everything.
Segher says that the current dtc upstream has better code quality,
however our changes are extensive and merging will be a pain. He
suggests to use plain upstream dtc and parse its output into our own
formats. I have no opinion on dtc changes.
