Following this patch (http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/27/555), I posted a
series of patches to convert almost all architectures to using the
centralized rule. The one architecture I didn't convert was PowerPC.

I didn't convert it because arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile contains a large
number of rules (to generate *Image.% where % is a board name) that
depend on %.dtb, which is expected to be in arch/powerpc/boot rather
than arch/powerpc/boot/dts. Now, I guess it's possible to convert them
all to expect the .dtb files to be in dts/ and also have
arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile call make in boot/dts/ to make each required
.dtb file. However, the patch would be a bit larger than all the other
architecture patches. Do you want me to do that conversion, or would you
rather I leave PowerPC alone? Thanks for any feedback.
Kumar, any objection to moving the dtb's to arch/powerpc/boot/dtb/ ?
Other than breaking a script or two out there ...

Cheers,
Ben.
