Re: [PATCH v4 6/9] kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules

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.

v4:
 - Make dtbs and %.dtb rules depend on arch/$ARCH/boot/dts path rather than
   CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
 - Fix install path missing kernel version for dtbs_install
 - Fix "make CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS=y" for arches like ARM which selectively
   enable CONFIG_OF (and therefore dtc)
