I can move it into a separate patch in v4.

I tried using '#include, and added the 2 dts paths to the DTS_CPPFLAGS
so gcc could find the files, but I got a 'couldn't open
'skeleton.dtsi' error. I didn't want to change tegra20.dtsi to
#include "skeleton.dtsi', and all the other board dts files to
#include ARCH_CPU_DTS, just so we can support the common tamonten
dtsi, so I went back to the DTC include path changes.

There was talk at one time of putting an up-to-date DTC binary in the
U-Boot tools area so everyone would have a consistent level of DT
support. With the small number of boards using DT at this time, I
think we can live with letting people know where to find the latest
DTC release until then.

If someone has a better approach, let me know. Otherwise, I want to
get this into a v4 patch (with the DTC include path changes in it's
own patch so it can be reworked later if needed) today as I'll be gone
until next Weds.
