        in an init section in the image. Platform code *must* copy the
        blob to non-init memory prior to calling unflatten_device_tree().
 
-       Example:
-               #arch/x86/platform/ce4100/Makefile
-               clean-files := *dtb.S
+       To use this command, simply add *.dtb into obj-y or targets, or make
+       some other target depend on %.dtb
 
-               DTC_FLAGS := -p 1024
-               obj-y += foo.dtb.o
+       A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/%.dts;
+       architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.
