From: Masahiro Yamada yamada.masahiro@socionext.com

commit 10b62a2f785ab55857380f0c63d9fa468fd8c676 upstream.

Most of DT files are compiled under arch/*/boot/dts/, but we have some other directories, like drivers/of/unittest-data/. We often miss to add gitignore patterns per directory. Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, we can ignore the patterns globally.
