I do not want to expand this argument, but
I am not sure if DTB stands for "device tree binary".

linux/Documentation often refer it as "device tree blob",
while   linux/Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt
says  "device tree block".

Is it possible to rename it without mentioning  _BIN or _BLOB ?

For example,  DTB_PATH=...   or  EXT_DTB=...
or some other variable name you like.

The second comma  in   '(if $(CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE),-dtb,)'  is redundant.


This is duplicating the same image as  u-boot-dtb.img

Your way is that "u-boot.img" includes DTB in some time and doesn't in the other.
I am not sure which way is better.
But we don't need two rules to generate the equivalent image.

If you go along with this change, I think it's OK with me.
Please consider removing below in that case:


ifeq ($(CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK),y)
ALL-$(CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE) += u-boot-dtb.img
endif

  and

u-boot-dtb.img: u-boot-dtb.bin FORCE
        $(call if_changed,mkimage)
