Yes, *if* they are present, and if they are identical.

If I decide not to pull libfdt yet  for  some  reason  (for  example,
because  I  rejected  partrs  of  it and now wait for a new version),
pulling from your repo will sneak in the code I intended to reject.

If your version and what I  pulled  (and  eventually  modified)  from
libfdt differ, who knows what the end resulkt would look like?

Sorry, it seems I did not understand the importance of that request.
Sorry.

Just rebase your stuff against current version and this should resolve
easily, I guess.

Here it was easy, as I accepted libfdt as it  was,  an  you  probably
have the correct code, too. But it could have been worse.
