If we really want this rule in Makefile.lib then at least make it less verbose,
and more secure.

I started with the change in Makefile.lib because it made sense to me, is there a more appropriate place for these rules/commands?

Something like this:
quiet_dt_S_dtb_cmd = DTB    $@
       dt_S_dtb_cmd =                                      \
(                                                         \
	@echo '#include<asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h>';     \
	@echo '.section .dtb.init.rodata,"a"';            \
	@echo '.balign STRUCT_ALIGNMENT';                 \
	echo '.global __dtb_$(*F)_begin';                 \
	echo '__dtb_$(*F)_begin:';                        \
	echo '.incbin "$<" ';                             \
	echo '__dtb_$(*F)_end:';                          \
	echo '.global __dtb_$(*F)_end';                   \
	echo '.balign STRUCT_ALIGNMENT';                  \
)>  $@

$(obj)/%.dtb.S: $(obj)/%.dtb
	$(call cmd,dt_S_dtb)


I will make the changes in next version.


+DTC = $(objtree)/scripts/dtc/dtc

If this is the only spot where we use DTC then drop the variable.

+
+quiet_cmd_dtc = DTC $@
+      cmd_dtc = $(DTC) -O dtb -o $@ -b 0 $(DTC_FLAGS) $<


+ooo

What is the purpose of these "ooo"? A debugging left-over?


Yep sorry
