For wide-tree cleanups I run (crosc64 is shortcut for proper env settings):

rm -fr dts-old; cp -r out/arch/arm64/boot/dts/ dts-old
crosc64 make -j8 dtbs
<make the changes / git stash pop / etc>
rm -fr dts-new; cp -r out/arch/arm64/boot/dts/ dts-new
crosc64 make -j8 dtbs
for i in dts-old/*/*dtb dts-old/*/*/*dtb; do echo $i; crosc64 scripts/dtc/dtx_diff ${i} dts-new/${i#dts-old/} ; done

Second method gives sometimes less false-positives:

for i in dts-old/*/*dtb dts-old/*/*/*dtb; do echo $i; crosc64 fdtdump ${i} > ${i}.fdt ; crosc64 fdtdump dts-new/${i#dts-old/} > dts-new/${i#dts-old/}.fdt ; diff -ubB ${i}.fdt dts-new/${i#dts-old/}.fdt ; done


Best regards,
Krzysztof
