Hi,

I have just learned that it is already possible to achieve the same thing by
passing the dtbs explicitly to make and enabling the DTBS_CHECK flag like so:

make CHECK_DTBS=y mediatek/mt8192-asurada-spherion-r0.dtb

This flag isn't documented anywhere outside the Makefile however. So I'll send a
patch documenting it shortly, and this commit can be ignored.

Thanks,
N?colas
