This change makes the u-boot "all" target build the separate device tree if DEV_TREE_SEPARATE is set. This use of DEV_TREE_SEPARATE is consistent with the one other use in the u-boot build system. It's at least expedient and perhaps necessary to build the device tree this way since it's difficult to know the value of $(obj) when invoking make.
i don't see anyone else using DEV_TREE_SEPARATE. we already have CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE which causes the .dtb to be generated.
Simon: any idea what's up ? -mike
Yes, in the Chromium tree I put .dtb generation in the Makefile, since it was planned for upstream. It was removed in this change:
https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#change,4267
So if we ignore that one, I don't think Gabe's change in this email is necessary upstream, but we may need to consider a way to have CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE not build a dtb. Let's see how we go.
Regards, Simon
