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

I'm planning to follow up https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/813888/ with one to do -b v1.4.3 so we'll be testing the minimum requirement in the future.
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:-(
Well, the other ways to do this are "mirror" the kernel and include a copy of dtc, or have different version checks for if UT_OVERLAY is enabled or not.
