To be consistent with other architectures and to avoid unnecessary
makefile duplication, move all MIPS device-trees to arch/mips/boot/dts
and build them with a common makefile.

I recall reading that the ARM organization for DTS files was a bit unfortunate
and should have been something like:

arch/arm/boot/dts/<vendor>/

Is this something we should do for the MIPS and update the other architectures
to follow that scheme?

I recall reading that as well and that it would be adopted for ARM64,
but that hasn't seemed to have happened.  Perhaps Olof (CC'ed) will no
more.

Yeah, I highly recommend having a directory per vendor. We didn't on ARM,
and the amount of files in that directory is becoming pretty
insane. Moving to a subdirectory structure later gets messy which is
why we've been holding off on it.
