I wonder if that should be CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB?

This is causing failures in linux-next with MIPS
cavium_octeon_defconfig like below, and changing this line to
CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB seems to fix it.

arch/mips/cavium-octeon/setup.o: In function `__octeon_is_model_runtime__':
/work/mips/linux/main/./arch/mips/include/asm/octeon/octeon-model.h:368:
undefined reference to `__dtb_octeon_3xxx_begin'
