Does this look correct? This patch > depends on the generic dtb build rule already being applied. I think the patch looks OK technically, except for one minor comment below. One issue with this patch is that it moves *.dts from arch/arm/boot to arch/arm/boot/dts, which means everyone has to adjust their scripts/... that package/install/... the kernel. I guess it's an easy change for people to make, but could easily catch people unawares if they do incremental builds so that arch/arm/boot/*.dtb still exists but is stale. > diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile b/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile > index f37cf9f..2aef042 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile > +++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile > @@ -104,4 +104,8 @@ dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_VT8500) += vt8500-bv07.dtb \ > wm8505-ref.dtb \ > wm8650-mid.dtb > > +targets += dtbs Doesn't that make the "dtbs" target always run by default? Perhaps that's reasonable though, and doesn't actually affect anything since the make command for this directory always specifies an explicit target? Or, was that meant to be the following that got removed from ../Makefile? targets += $(dtb-y) > endif > + > +dtbs: $(addprefix $(obj)/, $(dtb-y)) > +clean-files := *.dtb
