Hi,

to me it all just seems as values and templates hidden inside shell script
called generator.  Each of this generators uses/references 1-N variables, 1-N
out-of-tree dependencies and 1-N DT sections.

So instead of cooking custom shell templating engine I took different
approach[1] and simply removed the shell script generator in favor of Python
based templating engine, allowing for ITS dependency tracking and values
directly in Make.

Lets see what is preferred.

If that is desired, then in order to keep the current behavior, I see
following options:

 1. Disable building of boards having out-of-tree dependencies on build bot/CI
 2. Enable BUILDBOT_BROKEN_BINARIES=y by default
 3. Add detection of various build bot/CI platforms and enable
    BUILDBOT_BROKEN_BINARIES=y by default, which then could cause further issues
    when one would actually run test the binaries from build bot/CI
 4. Include the out-of-tree dependencies (unlikely)

What is your suggestion?
