Subject: [PATCH 5.4 038/191] dtc: Use pkg-config to locate libyaml

From: Pavel Modilaynen <pavel.modilaynen@...s.com>

[ Upstream commit 067c650c456e758f933aaf87a202f841d34be269 ]

Using Makefile's wildcard with absolute path to detect
the presence of libyaml results in false-positive
detection when cross-compiling e.g. in yocto environment.
The latter results in build error:
| scripts/dtc/yamltree.o: In function `yaml_propval_int':
| yamltree.c: undefined reference to `yaml_sequence_start_event_initialize'
| yamltree.c: undefined reference to `yaml_emitter_emit'
| yamltree.c: undefined reference to `yaml_scalar_event_initialize'
...
Use pkg-config to locate libyaml to address this scenario.
