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.

Compiling %.S -> %.o requires objtool for x86, but x86 does not support DT.
Well, x86 does support DT to some extent. There's 2 platforms and the DT unittests build and run on x86. Actually, we can remove "%.dtb.S %.dtb.o" because we don't need those as top-level build targets. Must have been a copy-n-paste relic from before having common rules.
If CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, scripts/genksyms/genksyms is required, %.dtb.S does not contain EXPORT_SYMBOL.
Okay, but that shouldn't affect any of this. We only build *.dtb.S when doing built-in dtbs.
BTW, 'dtc' should be a PHONY target.
Right, I found that too. Rob
