Ben, Paul, Following this patch (http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/27/555), I posted a series of patches to convert almost all architectures to using the centralized rule. The one architecture I didn't convert was PowerPC. I didn't convert it because arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile contains a large number of rules (to generate *Image.% where % is a board name) that depend on %.dtb, which is expected to be in arch/powerpc/boot rather than arch/powerpc/boot/dts. Now, I guess it's possible to convert them all to expect the .dtb files to be in dts/ and also have arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile call make in boot/dts/ to make each required .dtb file. However, the patch would be a bit larger than all the other architecture patches. Do you want me to do that conversion, or would you rather I leave PowerPC alone?
