Have you tried consulting the Xilinx wiki?

This howto looks like it has everything you need to get what you want. There's links to a git repository with code as well as directions on how to build it. Here's the command to download the device-tree sources.

$ git clone git://github.com/Xilinx/device-tree.git

The Xilinx website also provides a excellent Getting Started resource if you're new to their toolhchain workflow. Here's a diagram that shows where the device trees fit in:

Given these details a very specific to a variance of Linux for the Xilinx platform I'm not going to include any of the details beyond the above here on U&L, since that wiki is maintained by a hardware vendor, Xilinx, that's supporting that version of the kernel for their hardware products to use.
