Excellent! That is exactly the use case this feature was designed for.
Otherwise we would simply have linked the DTB into the kernel image
directly.
Appending a DTB to zImage should be done at kernel installation time,
not at build time. The nuance might not mean a lot for some
environment, but for a distro this is clearly separate operations.
