Yes. I am confused what should be the correct terminology, since some places
dtbo is called addon, other places overlay.

No upstream driver or bindings, and generally the description will differ
between different camera modules.
My goal was to show that dtb overlays are useful on this board.

Checking other Makefiles flags are generally specified before the dtb.
So I will change it accordingly.
Examples:
