Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: Handle builtin dtb files containing hyphens

On dtb files which contain hyphens, the dt_S_dtb command to build the
dtb.S files (which allow DTB files to be built into the kernel) results
in errors like the following:

bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'

This is due to the hyphen being used in symbol names. Replace all
hyphens with underscores in the dt_S_dtb command to avoid this problem.

Quite a lot of dts files have hyphens, but its only a problem on MIPS
where such files can be built into the kernel. For example when
CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y, or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is
used (in the latter case it admitedly shouldn't really build all the
dtb.o files, but thats a separate issue).

Fixes: 695835511f96 ("MIPS: BMIPS: rename bcm96358nb4ser to bcm6358-neufbox4-sercom")
