Hum, I'm not sure about that, that would mean that we would have a
different behaviour between the buildroot generated image and the yocto
generated image which is not so great from a customer support point of view.
Also oftree is the usual name for dtbs in barebox, I'd like to stick to
it. That is just a bunch of links and that part will stay in the
crystalfontz specific kernel recipe anyway, does it matter that much ?
