As commit afa974b77128 ("kbuild: add real-prereqs shorthand for
$(filter-out FORCE,$^)") explained, $(real-prereqs) is not just a list
of objects when linking a multi-object module. If a single-object module
is turned into a multi-object module, $^ (and therefore $(real-prereqs)
as well) contains header files recorded in the *.cmd file. Such headers
must be filtered out.

Now that a DTB can be built either from a single source or multiple
source files, the same issue can occur.

Consider the following scenario:

First, foo.dtb is implemented as a single-blob device tree.

The code looks something like this:

[Sample Code 1]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb

  foo.dts:

    #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

When it is compiled, .foo.dtb.cmd records that foo.dtb depends on
scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h.

Later, foo.dtb is split into a base and an overlay. The code looks
something like this:

[Sample Code 2]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb
      foo-dtbs := foo-base.dtb foo-addon.dtbo

  foo-base.dts:

    #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

  foo-addon.dtso:

    /dts-v1/;
    /plugin/;
    / { };

If you rebuild foo.dtb without 'make clean', you will get this error:

  Overlay 'scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h' is incomplete

The reason for the error is because $(real-prereqs) contains not only
foo-base.dtb and foo-addon.dtbo but also
scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h, which is passed to
the fdtoverlay tool.
