This is what I have said in the thread
Re: [PATCH] dts: re-write dts/Makefile more simply with Kbuild

We must keep dts/dt.dtb to suppress the re-generation of dts/dt.dtb.

Besides,  dts/dt.dtb is a prerequisite of dts/dt.dtb.S 
when CONFIG_OF_EMBED is enabled.

I believe keeping dts/dt.dtb is reasonable enough.

Better to keep both?


Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada
