This change makes the u-boot "all" target build the separate device tree if
DEV_TREE_SEPARATE is set. This use of DEV_TREE_SEPARATE is consistent with the
one other use in the u-boot build system. It's at least expedient and perhaps
necessary to build the device tree this way since it's difficult to know the
value of $(obj) when invoking make.

i don't see anyone else using DEV_TREE_SEPARATE.  we already have 
CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE which causes the .dtb to be generated.

Simon: any idea what's up ?

Yes, in the Chromium tree I put .dtb generation in the Makefile, since
it was planned for upstream. It was removed in this change:

https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#change,4267

So if we ignore that one, I don't think Gabe's change in this email is
necessary upstream, but we may need to consider a way to have
CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE not build a dtb. Let's see how we go.

Regards,
Simon
