      dtbsinstall: don't move target directory out of the way · 5399eb9b
      Russell King authored
      No other kernel installation target moves the target directory out of
      the way, even deleting an old version of it.  These are destructive
      operations, ones which the kernel build system should not be making.
      
      This behaviour prevents being able to do:
      
      	make install INSTALL_PATH=/some/path/boot
      	make dtbs_install INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/some/path/boot
      
      As it causes the boot directory containing the kernel installed in
      step 1 to be moved to /some/path/boot.old.  Things get even more fun
      if you do:
      
      	make install dtbs_install INSTALL_PATH=/some/path/boot INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/some/path/boot
      
      The kernel gets installed into /some/path/boot, then the directory gets
      renamed to /some/path/boot.old, and a new directory created to hold the
      dtbs.  Even more fun if you supply -j2 when we end up with races in
      make.
      
      Remove this behaviour.
      
      If this behaviour is required at installation time, this should be
      done by the installation external to the kernel makefiles, just like
      it would be done for 'make modules_install'.
