2019-11-25-rpi-firmware-dtb-files: enhance the command snippet
When writing the news item, I relied on a hint from colleague Gentoo developer and a brief online search, but haven't tested the command myself. Manual testing has shown that the default installation destination directory is /boot/dtbs/$(uname -r)/{broadcom,overlays}/, which is very different from /boot/ which is typically used. This discrepancy I believe will lead at least to some unexpected results, so we'd better preserve the scheme used in other cases, such as with sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image.
