I think this guarding for non-empty $(ARCH) could be changed to become:

ifneq ($(filter $(obj),dts/upstream/src/$(ARCH) arch/$(ARCH)/dts),)

it could be $(obj) or $(src) I am not sure if either is correct, but
they do seem to compile for OF_UPSTREAM and non-OF_UPSTREAM target. This
avoids the work and debug output unless actually compiling in the dts
target directory. Am I missing any detail here?

And move this endif later down to insert above the 'dtc_cpp_flags  ='...
line, to encompass debugging and avoid adding dtc_cpp_flags with an
invalid generated path.

Tested at least with starfive_visionfive2_defconfig from v2025.01
(before OF_UPSTREAM) and v2025.07 (adopted OF_UPSTREAM).
