We could also ship a generated .S file (dtc -O asm -o ps3-dt.S ps3.dts),
which would be easier to maintain in the source tree than a binary file,
then use something like this in the wrapper script:
${CROSS}gcc -c -o ${platform}-dt.o ${platform}-dt.S
${CROSS}objcopy -O binary ${platform}-dt.o ${platform}.dtb
Untested, but it seems like it would work.
