Added this to commit description:

Assuming a new enough dtc (which an earlier patch enforces), dtc will
parse #line directives in its input file, and generate correct file and
line numbers in error messages, even though cpp is unconditionally
applied to its input file.

(note the patch that refers to will be new in v2 of the series).
