I've just pushed two changes to support the new dtb location since
3.8-rc1, and I committed Maxime's 'Support multiple device tree build'
patch yesterday, care to rebase against that and update the logic so it
can handle multiple .dtb files?

Thanks.

Dear Gary Coulbourne,

This patch is in fact not needed, because the existing
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET option installs both the kernel image
and the DTBs to /boot. I've updated the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET
help text to clarify this.

Thanks!

Thomas
