This piece of code converts the target suffix to the dtc -O option:

    *.dtb      ->  -O dtb
    *.dt.yaml  ->  -O yaml

Commit ce88c9c79455 ("kbuild: Add support to build overlays (%.dtbo)")
added the third case:

    *.dtbo     ->  -O dtbo

This works thanks to commit 163f0469bf2e ("dtc: Allow overlays to have
.dtbo extension") in the upstream DTC, which has already been pulled in
the kernel.

However, I think it is a bit odd because "dtbo" is not a format name.
At least, it does not show up in the help message of dtc.

$ scripts/dtc/dtc --help
  [ snip ]
  -O, --out-format <arg>
        Output formats are:
                dts - device tree source text
                dtb - device tree blob
                yaml - device tree encoded as YAML
                asm - assembler source

So, I am not a big fan of the second hunk of that change:

        } else if (streq(outform, "dtbo")) {
                dt_to_blob(outf, dti, outversion);

Anyway, we did not need to do this in Makefile in the first place.

guess_type_by_name() had already understood ".yaml" before commit
4f0e3a57d6eb ("kbuild: Add support for DT binding schema checks"),
and now does ".dtbo" as well.

Makefile does not need to duplicate the same logic. Let's leave it
to dtc.

Looking at the very first version of the patch I sent,

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7aa70809eff3f32d821761d2a763e4fb72ecc8fb.1609844956.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org/

this change was the only thing that was required to make it work.

I think the reason was that "outform != NULL" as -O option was passed
by the kernel.

LGTM.

I think you should also drop 'yaml' from:

$(call if_changed_rule,dtc,yaml)

Though that's somewhat separate, so either way:
