Unfortunately no. I believe the way incbin works in dts is that it
looks for the binary to be included in the same directory as the dts.
Which is why I have to point it to the location of the esl relative to
the dts.

Again, this is not how incbin seems to work in dts. I tried putting
the esl in one of the existing include directory locations, but it
does not pick the file from those dirs. It works with the assumption
that the bin file is to be in the same dir as the dts.
