Your suggestion fixes it -- I suggest we keep the config this way round;
this means that OF gets turned on when enabling a coretile which requires
it, and those coretiles are offered as choices even before OF is turned
on.  That feels like a sensible behaviour for the config.


While we're about this, building of the applicable dtbs is not currently
enabled.

Can we add this, so that "make dtbs" works?
