devicetree: Move include prefixes from arch to separate directory We use a directory under arch/$ARCH/boot/dts as an include path that has links outside of the subtree to find dt-bindings from under include/dt-bindings. That's been working well, but new DT architectures haven't been adding them by default. Recently there's been a desire to share some of the DT material between arm and arm64, which originally caused developers to create symlinks or relative includes between the subtrees. This isn't ideal -- it breaks if the DT files aren't stored in the exact same hierarchy as the kernel tree, and generally it's just icky. As a somewhat cleaner solution we decided to add a $ARCH/ prefix link once, and allow DTS files to reference dtsi (and dts) files in other architectures that way. Original approach was to create these links under each architecture, but it lead to the problem of recursive symlinks. As a remedy, move the include link directories out of the architecture trees into a common location. At the same time, they can now share one directory and one dt-bindings/ link as well.
