[yocto] [PATCH v2 0/1] Support for .dtbo files for dtb overlays

Recent kernels tend to use .dtbo files for device tree overlays, instead of .dtb before.
.dtb are still used, but only for the "real" device trees (not the overlays).

On some platforms (meta-raspberrypi for instance), recent firmware only loads .dtbo files for overlays.

This patch tries to address this issue, while not breaking support for .dtb overlays.
It allows the installation/deployment of both .dtb and .dtbo files, for device trees and overlays.

This is in line with the behavior of kernels 4.4.6+
