Rob has been doing a series to build all DTBs and he also provided a fix to ARC
makefiles to use common make variables which collides with ur patch.

@Alexey, can u wait until rc1 comes out and rebase it on top, assuming Rob's
series is merged in 4.4 window ?
If his doesn't, I will merge this as it is for rc2 !
