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.
