I have a question.


Most of sub-architectures define per-SoC options in their mach-<>/Kconfig,but
some of them enable DTBs per SoC-family.


For example,

arch/arm/mach-exynos/Kconfig define SoC options.


So,

dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_EXYNOS5) += \
        exynos5250-arndale.dtb \
        exynos5250-smdk5250.dtb \
        exynos5250-snow.dtb \
        exynos5250-spring.dtb \
        exynos5260-xyref5260.dtb \
        exynos5410-smdk5410.dtb \
        exynos5420-arndale-octa.dtb \
        exynos5420-peach-pit.dtb \
        exynos5420-smdk5420.dtb \
        exynos5422-odroidxu3.dtb \
        exynos5422-odroidxu3-lite.dtb \
        exynos5440-sd5v1.dtb \
        exynos5440-ssdk5440.dtb \
        exynos5800-peach-pi.dtb

should be like follows?

dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_EXYNOS5250) += \
        exynos5250-arndale.dtb \
        exynos5250-smdk5250.dtb \
        exynos5250-snow.dtb \
        exynos5250-spring.dtb
dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_EXYNOS5260) += \
        exynos5260-xyref5260.dtb
dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_EXYNOS5410) += \
        exynos5410-smdk5410.dtb
dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_EXYNOS5420) += \
        exynos5420-arndale-octa.dtb \
        exynos5420-peach-pit.dtb \
        exynos5420-smdk5420.dtb \
        exynos5422-odroidxu3.dtb \
        exynos5422-odroidxu3-lite.dtb
dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_EXYNOS5440) += \
        exynos5440-sd5v1.dtb \
        exynos5440-ssdk5440.dtb
dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_EXYNOS5800) += \
        exynos5800-peach-pi.dtb




Likewise for Mediatek DTBs?

dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_MEDIATEK) += \
        mt6580-evbp1.dtb \
        mt6589-aquaris5.dtb \
        mt6592-evb.dtb \
        mt8127-moose.dtb \
        mt8135-evbp1.dtb
