Adding the -@ switch to dtc results in the binary devicetrees containing
a list of symbolic references and their paths. This is necessary to
apply device tree overlays e.g. on Raspberry Pi as described on
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/device-tree.md.
Obviously the downside of this change is an increas of the size of the
generated dtbs, for an arm out-of-tree build (multi_v7_defconfig):
$ du -s arch/arm/boot/dts*
101380 arch/arm/boot/dts-pre
114308 arch/arm/boot/dts-post
so this is in average an increase of 12.8% in size.
