Ummm, arm builds (and many others) select CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE (in
the case of arm, only if CONFIG_OF is set), and the top level Makefile
does this:

ifneq ($(wildcard $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts/),)
dtstree :=3D arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts
endif

ifneq ($(dtstree),)
	.
	.
	.
ifdef CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE
all: dtbs
endif

endif

So won't this be the same as doing a separate "make dtbs"?
