In the split tree "make all -k" will already build every dtb (and always has done), in fact this is how I discovered the breakage which I'm trying to address with this patch since the daily cronjob which does the conversion runs this. > Something like lib/ seems more appropriate.

I'm quite happy to rework the patch with whatever path is settled upon. Or if someone has an alternative suggestion for how to fix the build in the split devicetree git tree I'm happy to give that a go too. > > > > We could also see sharing between PPC and ARM on FSL networking > > > > parts, > > > > but I've not heard if they actually have that problem. > > > > > > Yeah, there could potentially be some sharing between MIPS and > > > ARM{,64} too, but I don't know if we'll actually see it done. > > > > Yep, hard to say. > > > > Rob
