kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule
All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches. MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle. Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

in an init section in the image. Platform code *must* copy the
blob to non-init memory prior to calling unflatten_device_tree().
- Example:
- #arch/x86/platform/ce4100/Makefile
- clean-files := *dtb.S
+ To use this command, simply add *.dtb into obj-y or targets, or make
+ some other target depend on %.dtb
- DTC_FLAGS := -p 1024
- obj-y += foo.dtb.o
+ A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/%.dts;
+ architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.
- $(obj)/%.dtb: $(src)/%.dts
- $(call cmd,dtc)
+ Example:
+ targets += $(dtb-y)
+ clean-files += *.dtb
+ DTC_FLAGS ?= -p 1024
