[PATCH RESEND] ARM: add dtbImage.<dt> and dtbuImage.<dt> rules

Hi everyone,

apologies for picking up a topic that's more than 360 days old...

We're in the position where we'd like to have FDT support just because 
it simplifies our code a whole lot; yet we want to be able to run such a 
kernel on older u-boots (completely unaware of FTDs) as well.
I believe this must be a very common use case indeed.
So a dtbuImage.<dtb> would be very useful in this case.

If I understand it correctly, dtbImage.<dtb> is indeed just a cat of 
zImage+dtb, whereas dtbuImage.<dtb> is the uimage of such a dtbImage.<dtb>.
So it shouldn't be such a crazy idea to create a dtbuImage.<dtb> within 
Kbuild (as opposed to from an external wrapper for make).

Is there any reason why nothing like that was ever mainlined?
Or maybe I'm just missing something?

Thanks!
Gerlando

as discuss with Grant no this is a temporary solution so no Makefile Target

so nack

hum, it doesn't seems to be temporary on powerpc.
cf 25431333813686654907ab987fb5de10c10a16db
and
ARCH=powerpc make help

So what's the problem on arm ?
