This adjusts OF_UPSTREAM to behave more like the kernel by allowing for all the devicetree files for a given vendor to be compiled. This is useful for Qualcomm in particular as most boards are supported by a single U-Boot build just provided with a different DT.

ThisDo we really want to build all the DTBs even if many of those aren't supported by U-Boot at all? I would have rather added Makefile targets for boards which really supports a single defconfig eg. qcom_defconfig.
Yes, for the 4 Qualcomm SoCs currently supported there are 51 dts targets that ought to be able to run U-Boot to some extent
Have you tested U-Boot on all of them? IMO, it would be good to make people aware about supported boards via listing their DTs at least.
$ ls -l dts/upstream/src/arm6/qcom/{msm8916,sdm845,msm8996,qcs404}*.dts\ | wc -l 51
qcom_defconfig currently only supports sdm845 and qcs404.
What do you mean by a "makefile target"? Like copying arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/Makefile from Linux? I guess my concern here would be keeping it in sync, and introducing additional busywork when porting.
See following diff:

We do have a lot of Qualcomm DTS files, it takes maybe 10 seconds to compile them all on my machine, but that's only once. With incremental builds this becomes largely irrelevant.
Maybe someone cares about build time too but that's not my primary concern. We shouldn't be giving the false impression that all the DTs present in the vendor directory are supported by U-Boot.
