Hello Paul,
I will recheck tomorrow morning but the kernel I was initially working with was 4.19 and I did not find dtbs being compiled from a plain make or from builddeb
For what it’s worth, I was using the pistachio_defconfig.
My test workflow is as follows (ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set in my environment)
make mrproper
make pistachio_defconfig
make
find arch/mips -name *.dtb
