Ran your attached tree through dtc and quickly found the problem -
your .dts file has DOS-style newlines (\r\n) rather than UNIX style
(just \n).  The dtc lexer was brokenly not considering carriage return
to be whitespace.

I'll send a patch to Jon tomorrow to fix that, in the meantime you
could convert the linefeed style as a workaround.
