Read again in which cases mkimage needs host-dtc. It is *NOT* related
to Device Tree at all. It is related to the FIT image format, which
happens to rely on the Device Tree syntax and compiler, but has
*nothing* to do with the Device Tree being used by the kernel to get a
description of the HW.

Best regards,

Thomas
