4e8c88382d board/broadcom/northstar: fix building custom images
Custom Northstar images allow installing (flashing) them using vendor UI
or CFE bootloader.

The change of DTS files paths ("broadcom/" prefix introduction in Linux
6.5+) prevented post script from generating them.

Adjust post-image.sh to deal with new paths.

1500b7d5c8 configs/broadcom_northstar: new defconfig
Broadcom Northstar family of SoCs is most commonly used for home
routers. It's an ARM platform with Cortex-A9 CPU(s).

All known Northstar devices come with CFE bootloader which almost
always expects a TRX firmware format (with exception for D-Link). Some
vendors (like Luxul and Netgear) wrap TRX in their own containers.

This board code provides:

1. Minimal kernel with support for on-SoC blocks. It enables Linux
drivers for SoC, watchdog, Ethernet, switch, USB, PCIe, LEDs).

2. Post image script building firmware images. In uses Buildroot
packages tools (lzma_alone, otrx, lxlfw) to build
bootloader-compatible images that can be flashed.
