[Ltib] How to tell tlib to pick a specific dts file

[Silver Surfer]

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade the Freescale provided MPC8308RDB BSP's Kernel to
Mainline Kernel. During the dts compilation ltib throws an error as it
could not find the mpc8308erdb.dts file, I realized that in the Mainline
Kernel the file name is changed to mpc8308rdb.dts.

How do I tell ltib to look for mpc8308rdb.dts instead of mpc8308erdb.dts?

For the time being I have renamed the Mainline Kernel's mpc8308rdb.dts file
in the arch/powerpc/boot/dts to mpc8308erdb.dts, what is the side effect of
this renaming?

Normally one could patchmerge the changes into the kernel source (in
the ltib FAQ), though for heavy dev processes is a PITA.

I've made modifications to the kernel.common.template to look for the
dts in the platform folder. I can't locate the exact change in
history at the moment, but I may have posted it to the list at
sometime. I'll attach my file, but you have to sort out the
non-relevant-probably-breaks-other-items items.
