Excellent!  That is exactly the use case this feature was designed for.  
Otherwise we would simply have linked the DTB into the kernel image 
directly.

Appending a DTB to zImage should be done at kernel installation time, 
not at build time.  The nuance might not mean a lot for some 
environment, but for a distro this is clearly separate operations.
