The idea in 3609e1dc5f4d (dts: automatically build necessary .dtb files) was fine, but the implementation was suboptimal due to some misunderstandings on my part (and possibly defects in some defconfig files):
- Sometimes DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE is not included in OF_LIST or SPL_OF_LIST - SPL_OF_LIST is not always a subset of OF_LIST - While SPL_OF_LIST governs the list of dtbs relevant to SPL (i.e., may be built into an SPL-with-bunch-of-dtbs-to-choose-between-at-runtime), those dtbs are not actually _built_ during the SPL build phase, i.e. when $(SPL_) would expand to SPL_. fdtgrep runs on the artifacts produced during the ordinary U-Boot build. Tweak the logic so that we simply add the union of all dtbs mentioned in either DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE, OF_LIST and SPL_OF_LIST to dtb-y. That should, for real, ensure that we always build all the dtbs that is relevant to the current board, and should in turn enable us to massively simplify arch/*/dts/Makefile.
