[PATCH] ARM: Kconfig: fix example for ARM_APPENDED_DTB

[Vladimir Murzin]

Help message for config ARM_APPENDED_DTB suggests following example to
append dtb to zImage:

cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb

and that makes unaware user wondering why Linux doesn't boot.

So fix example with ">>". Unfortunately, the same example is present in
message to commit e2a6a3aafa98 ("ARM: zImage: Allow the appending of a
device tree binary").

I think that as-is, the example is correct, as `zImage_w_dtb` is a
different file to `zImage`.

... but perhaps the wording could be updated to make that clearer.

Thanks,
Mark.

You've just convinced me to have unplanned vision check :) sorry for the noise!

Thanks
