Digging further into this, I don't think that binary renaming is needed, 
handling the recipe another way will do fine. The actual issue here is 
that we introduce "dtc-145" as a new recipe, with version "git", not as 
version 1.4.5 of dtc.

Also, this change might need to be done differently in sumo vs. master. 
Actually, not at all in sumo, because dtc is already at version 1.4.5 in 
poky. I've just sent a patch for this.

In master, the recipe needs to be handled normally just lower the 
version and set it as preferred, maybe in fsl-default-versions.inc. I'm 
still working on this one.

Thanks,
Mihai
