Felix Fietkau d475624f64 arc770: move arc patches to target/linux/generic
Given those patches are relevant to any ARC platform and even
ISA version it makes perfect sense for patches to exist
in one place instead of being duplicated for each new ARC-based ASIC.

Note this is a prerequisite for upstreaming of ARC HS38 support in
OpenWRT.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] openwrt: arc - add OWRTDTB section
This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
external .dtb.
That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
.dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
