Greetings.
In the old times it was customary to tweak the linux kernel for each and
every board, creating "named" configurations, so naturally dts files ended
up in the kernel source tree. Yet, kernel build system does nothing with
those files. Moreover, during initial board development, u-boot board config
header is written first and the dts file follows, based on the header
information.
It seems it would be wise to accept .dts files together with the rest of the
board specific sources into the u-boot tree. The space required is not large
and the resulting arrangement will be considerably more convenient for
old and new board development.
