Currently the makefile is setup in such manner that even if
we build a DT file in a subdirectory under arch/arm/boot/dts,
it gets built based on the base boot/dts/Makefile rules.
This patch modifies the base makefile in such manner, that
it detects which makefile to use based on build target path.
This allows setting for example per-directory DTC_FLAGS and
using those for the subdir build. The dtbdir local variable
is setup to target to the build path.

The makefile magic to handle subdirectories below $(boot)/dts/ already
works properly to have Makefiles in $(boot)/dts/, using the following
rule in arch/arm64/Makefile:

%.dtb: scripts
        $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot)/dts $(boot)/dts/$@

I don't understand why that works for arm64, but it should work the
same way for arm.  Or if arch/arm is missing another piece from
arch/arm64 we should be consistent with however the make system
specifies it in arch/arm64

It should just need a subdir-y for the sub-directory. The target is
"subdir/some.dtb" though.

If we want to build specific directories, we should get the standard
way of doing that to work: make arch/arm/boot/dts/subdir/
