There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.

The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.

This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

BTW, there's an error here too. It doesn't work right with
KBUILD_OUTPUT set and should be:

ifneq ($(wildcard $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts/),)

I think the pipe operator is unnecessary
because Kbuild will descend to $(dtstree) anyway.

The pipe means 'order-only', right? So it is just a weaker dependency
for things which are not input files as dtc is not. The 'dtc' here is
just the dtc rule below, not the actual executable. Or am I missing
something?

arch/*/boot/dts/ are not only directories that
require dtc.

Ah yes, of course...

Looks like I need to leave this line to fix the above and cleaning.

Thanks for the review.
