Exactly. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH is _exported_ in the top Makefile.


This is what it seems to happen, in the order:

1. outer 'make dir-pkg'
   INSTALL_DTBS_PATH is exported with some content

2. control arrives to buildtar
   INSTALL_DTBS_PATH is there as environment variable

3. inner 'make INSTALL_PATH=${tmpdir}/boot dtbs_install'
   INSTALL_DTBS_PATH is already set, therefore it is not modified


To make the inner invocation work, I see these two options:

1. 'make INSTALL_DTBS_PATH= INSTALL_PATH=${tmpdir}/boot dtb_install' (untested)

2. 'make INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=${tmpdir}/boot/dtbs/${KERNELRELEASE} dtbs_install'

I chose 2 but I can switch to 1, if you prefer. No problem.

Domenico
