Thanks for your patch!

Indeed:
- draak-ebisu-panel-aa104xd12.dtbo applies to r8a77990-ebisu.dtb, too,
- salvator-panel-aa104xd12.dtbo applies to all salvator-x(s) variants.
So should they be added to all bases they apply to?
Or, if you intend none of the composite DTBs to be consumed as-is, but
only intend them to be created for validation, perhaps the additional
rules should be grouped together at the bottom of the Makefile?

Do you still need the individual *.dtbo rules? Perhaps you are
afraid that make will auto-delete them as they are only used as
intermediaries?
