Ah, I mean "lacks".

Yeah, DTC submodule is a good choice, but the prefix "Preferred" imply that 1st is more better for me. So can we reorder these two choices?
DTC submodule's URL defined in .gitmodules as git://git.qemu-project.org/dtc.git. Sometime git protocol is blocked for unknown(security etc.) reasons. http://git.qemu.org/git/dtc.git may be a more common choice.(just personally suggestion ;))
