This definition in Makefile.dtbinst:
    export dtbinst-root ?= $(obj)
should define and export dtbinst-root when handling the root dts
directory, and do nothing in the subdirectories.  However some shells,
including dash, will not pass through environment variables whose name
includes a hyphen.  Usually GNU make does not use a shell to recurse,
but if e.g. $(srctree) contains '~' it will use a shell here.
Rename the variable to dtbinst_root.
