Nicolas' linaro-2.6.39 tree has the patch which supports building the
.dtb files directly from make.  I've not pushed that patch to mainline
since it is still the .dts files are probably going to be kept in an
external repo with the DT binding documentation, but I've not created
that repo yet.

To build them from Nicolas' tree, just do:  make <filename>.dtb.  For
some configs, "make dtbs" will also work.

Did this capability go away at some point, or am I now forgetting a step. I can't seem to build .dtb files any more.
