With support for overlays and calling the -@ flag to dtc we need to have at least 1.4.3 available now.

checkdtc:

• echo '*** Your dtc is too old, please upgrade to dtc 1.4 or newer'; \

  false; \ fi

Can we add a comment here indicating that .travis.yml must be updated too if the version requirement changes, and similarly a comment in .travis.yml that mentions it must be kept in sync with the checkdtc rule in Makefile?

For users, it's a bit annoying that we need a newer dtc that is present in distros, without any deprecation warning from the Makefile for a couple releases before:-(
