As this already seems to be git dependent, perhaps
it's easier to read with a single line test like:
if ($line =~ m{^\s*create mode\s*\d+\s*Documentation/devicetree/bindings/.*\.txt$}) {
etc...
}
There are ~3500 existing .txt files:
$ git ls-files -- 'Documentation/devicetree/bindings/*.txt' | wc -l
3476
Are these going to be converted somehow?
What about files like these? (not .txt)
