Commit 896bbb5 "fdt: avoid bad MAKEALL status" added logic to capture
the result code from dtc by echoing $? to stdout and capturing it using
$(). However, dtc emits some diagnostics to stderr and some to stdout.
The diagnostics send to stdout ended up getting captured via $() rather
than being echo'd to the user. This caused those diagnostics to be passed
to the exit command, which would then fail with the following cryptic
error message:
/bin/sh: line 1: exit: too many arguments
Solve this by redirecting all dtc output to stderr so that $() does not
capture it. This allows the user to see the actual error message from dtc.

This new option allows U-Boot to embed a binary device tree into its image
to allow run-time control of peripherals. This device tree is for U-Boot's
own use and is not necessarily the same one as is passed to the kernel.
The device tree compiler output should be placed in the $(obj)
rooted tree. Since $(OBJCOPY) insists on adding the path to the
generated symbol names, to ensure consistency it should be
invoked from the directory where the .dtb file is located and
given the input file name without the path.
This commit contains my entry for the ugliest Makefile / shell interaction
competition.
