Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
*install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.

This patch is an attempt to fix this problem.  Akin to 'make install',
this creates a new make target, dtbs_install.  The script that gets
called defers to a distribution or user supplied installdtbs binary,
if found in the system.  Otherwise, the default action is to install a
given dtb into

  /lib/modules/${kernel_version}/devicetree/${dts_filename}.dtb

I still don't see why you wouldn't install the files in
/lib/devicetrees, but I suppose that location is fine.

/boot/devicetrees/${kernel_version} would be my choice. /boot is more
likely to be available to firmware than /lib would be.
