Would there be any objection to adding an option to pass source paths to dtc from mkimage? Currently, in order to do that, I have to find the source for mkimage, grab the default dtc options out of mkimage.h and then pass that set on the command line. It would be nice and only slightly more future proof if I could just pass the source file search paths separately.


 local t=${VSD_PATH}/app/flasher/uboot_flasher
 local t2=${t}/tools
 PATH=${t2}:$PATH ${t2}/mkimage -D "-I dts -O dtb -p 500 -i ${release_dir}" \
                                -f ${t}/update_field_mode.its spot_update.bin

I'd like to pass one or more paths like "${release_dir}" without having to pass (or even know about) "-I dts -O dtb -p 500".
