I suppose dtbs may want adding to your archhelp if you use it. arm64 also adds dtbs and $(dtb-y) to targets (at least in linux-next). I think this makes sure that they don't get rebuilt unless they've actually changed. I've also copied this for metag. > --- a/arch/arc/kernel/Makefile > +++ b/arch/arc/kernel/Makefile > @@ -8,6 +8,8 @@ > obj-y := arcksyms.o setup.o irq.o time.o reset.o ptrace.o entry.o process.o > obj-y += signal.o traps.o sys.o troubleshoot.o stacktrace.o clk.o > > +obj-$(CONFIG_OF) += devtree.o > + You always select CONFIG_OF, so this could be obj-y. I'm not sure this particularly matters though.
