Yeah. Your right. The code is correct. The line

    DTB=`basename ${DTB} | sed 's,\.dts$,.dtb,g'`

will strip off the directories and replaces the ending. I overlooked that
somehow.  So drop my 'fixes', please.

What about my rework patches? I will resend them if they are ok.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards,
