Subject: [RFC PATCH] kbuild: Support directory targets for building DTBs
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:59:51 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113225952.867138-1-robh@kernel.org> (raw)
It is useful to be able to build all the DTBs for a vendor. One can list
all the .dts files in a directory and convert those to %.dtb targets,
but that doesn't work for base+overlay DTB targets.
Adding the dts subdirectory is straight-forward, but building the
DTBs should only happen for certain targets (dtbs, dtbs_check, %.dtb,
%.dtbo, and the directory target(s)).
The 'scripts_dtc' rule doesn't really depend on 'dt_binding_schemas',
but the directory target only depends on 'scripts' which depends on
'scripts_dtc'.

RFC because only arm64 converted ATM.
I don't really like looking at MAKECMDGOALS, but that's the only way I
could come up with that works. Maybe someone knows a better way.
