[ Upstream commit b08fc4d0ec2466558f6d5511434efdfabbddf2a6 ]
Since commit e7e2941300 ("kbuild: split device tree build rules into
scripts/Makefile.dtbs"), it is no longer possible to compile a device tree
blob that is not specified in a make rule
like:
dtb-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.dtb
Before the mentioned commit, one could copy a dts file to e.g.
arch/arm64/boot/dts/ (or a new subdirectory) and then convert it to a dtb
file using:
make ARCH=arm64 foo.dtb
In this scenario, both 'dtb-y' and 'dtb-' are empty, and the inclusion of
scripts/Makefile.dtbs relies on 'targets' to contain the MAKECMDGOALS. The
value of 'targets', however, is only final later in the code.
Move the conditional include of scripts/Makefile.dtbs down to where the
value of 'targets' is final. Since Makefile.dtbs updates 'always-y' which is
used as a prerequisite in the build rule, the build rule also needs to move
down.

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or
make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
