[ptxdist] [PATCH] rules/kernel.make: Add a choice to let kernel build dtbs.

[Christian Melki]

Instead of having Ptxdist build dtbs, let the kernel do it.
Some projects have a rather complicated set of includes and partly
out-of-tree dts structures (Nvidia?), so it is easier to let
the vendor kernel do it. This is similar to what Yocto and Buildroot can do.
The high level find might seem a bit excessive, but some vendor kernels
place built dtbs in rather strange places.
