Fix BUILTIN_DTB config which resulted in a dtb that was actually not built

file from the dtb file that will get linked into the Linux image.

Along the same lines as the comment that Jisheng Zhang made on the fixed
address, building a dtb into the kernel itself fundamentally breaks generic
kernel images.

I can understand using it on K210, which is extremely limited and wouldn't
run a generic kernel anyway, but for normal platforms like microchip and
sifive, it would be better to disallow CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB in Kconfig
and require a non-broken boot loader.

I kind of disagree because if I want to build a custom kernel for those platforms with a builtin dtb for some reasons (debug, development..Etc), I think I should be able to do so.
