Does Roman have plans? It seems he is still the maintainer.

I looked at it briefly but couldn't get anywhere with it, but the
OpenWRT build system seems to have built-in rules to append
DTB as used by bcm and others. Many improvements in the
build system overall, seems very neat.

A bunch of stuff (like appending machine code to set the machine
type) can simply be dropped.

We should build all DTBs and create images for them. When we
bump to v4.16 I can patch in my DNS-313 image creation utility
as well.

This is my (unfinished) rewritten fragment for v4.14 based mostly
on bcm:
