Hi,
good idea -- but they cannot be used directly. The substitution variable
ARCH_CPU_DTS is already reserved for dtsi in arch/cpu. The Microblaze
architecture needs a board specific dts onyl. That's why I think the new
substitution variable BOARD_DTS can be a option to solve the CPP problem
today and handle the dtc -i in the future.
BOARD_DTS can point to anything below board/vendor and perhaps with a
new configuration option similar to CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE the
substitution could be affected with freely selectable file name instead
of DEVICE_TREE only.
