There's a libfdt.py, provided by the dtc package, and u-boot-tools
tests use it.

Right now, we're not necessarily installing libfdt.py into python (?) or the
profile or anything.

Like u-boot-tools has somewhere (in its unit tests):

  #!/usr/bin/env python3
  import pylibfdt

And dtc provides

  libfdt.py

which could be useful for Python programmers, too.

Yes.  But in this case u-boot-tools uses libfdt.py when building (testing) itself.
