As I said to MIPS folks, this patch must go before 2/2.

You picked up only 2/2, so your dt/kbuild branch is broken.


make ARCH=mips allyesconfig
&& make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux- dtbs


will produce the following error.


make[2]: *** No rule to make target
'arch/mips/boot/dts/brcm/bcm96358nb4ser.dtb', needed by '__build'.
Stop.
scripts/Makefile.build:570: recipe for target 'arch/mips/boot/dts/brcm' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/mips/boot/dts/brcm] Error 2
arch/mips/Makefile:413: recipe for target 'dtbs' failed
make: *** [dtbs] Error 2
