Remove the generated .dtb file if 'distclean' is called.

... although why are only the .dtb files needed in the clean list?
How are the other built files cleaned?  'make clean' does remove the
other images, but I don't know what the mechanism is.

A lot of stuff is removed by the top level Makefile [1]. But as the patch "arm/dt: Add dtb make rule" adds the .dtb generation to arch/arm/boot/Makefile, we thought it would be a good place to add the removal of that file there, too.

Hmm, not sure if this answers your question, though ;)

Best regards
