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.

Please ack so I can take the whole series via the DT tree.

v2:
 - Fix $arch/boot/dts path check for out of tree builds
 - Fix dtc dependency for building built-in dtbs
 - Fix microblaze built-in dtb building

This breaks parallel building
because two threads could descend into scripts/dtc
at the same time.

'all' depends on both 'scripts' and 'dtc'.

* 'scripts' target -- descends into scripts/, then scripts/dtc
* 'dtc' target     -- descents into scripts/dtc directly

Any suggestions for how to fix given the problem with depending on
scripts? I suppose I could make scripts depend on dtc instead, but I'd
be back to needing to fix cleaning.

How about making 'prepare' depend on 'dtc'?

Then, remove
subdir-$(CONFIG_DTC)         += dtc
from scripts/Makefile

but, add dtc to subdir-

Or I could just skip removing the
cross compiler dependency for now.

I want to build scripts/
without target compiler.

modpost is a special host-program
that depends on $(CC).

I will take a look at it
when I find some time.
