We will start building overlays for platforms soon in the kernel and
would need these tools going forward. Lets start building them.

The commit log should explain how fdtdump and fdtoverlay are used
while building the kernel tree.

Adding 'libfdt_dir' is not helpful except
increasing the amount of code.

Please hard-code 'libfdt'

In general, I am a proponent of using shared libraries (which the upstream project
builds by default) because if a security bug in the library is fixed, it is fixed
for all users of the library.

In this specific case, I actually prefer the implementation that the patch provides
(directly linking the library object files into fdtoverlay, which uses the library)
because it is the only user of the library _and_ fdtoverlay will not inadvertently
use the system wide libfdt if it happens to be installed (as it is on my system).

Any thoughts on this Rob?

I see that this patch series is up to v4, so I commented in the wrong place.
I will repeat this comment in the v4 series.
