This is because arch/arm/dts/Makefile
has no entry for bcm2835-rpi-zero-w.dtb.




The following patch should fix the error


diff --git a/arch/arm/dts/Makefile b/arch/arm/dts/Makefile
index 2a040b2..5540f1b 100644
--- a/arch/arm/dts/Makefile

The reverted commit was hiding the issue.

I believe DTB files should be explicitly associated
with CONFIG option in Makefile.
U-Boot used to work that way, and so does Linux.


I do not know how may boards are broken now, but
the right thing to do is to add dtb entries to Makefile,
the revert the bad commit.
