Hi Leon,

Thanks for bringing this up. I believe Matthew made the original request 
for this commit (linux-dtb: add multi-dtb build support, 
a40d795ee97d8ada6a0b76c9741a8653fd646893). I'm cc:'ing him on this email 
as well as Richard Purdie, who has yet to review the new commits in my 
denzil-next branch and may also have some input on this issue.

The question in my mind right now is whether this change is too 
risky/change-inducing for a point-release.

Scott
