That is arguably true for many config options...

The dtbs will effectively all get enabled once platforms are converted
over to multi-platform and we add some multi-platform defconfigs. make
dtbs doesn't even build all dtbs today. It is only ones in Makefile.boot.

Anyway, I still see this as a separate issue and new feature to be done
separately if and when there is agreement.
