There are a couple of files that my version of 'find' incorrectly identified as
something completely different, like:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-sx150x.txt:
SemOne archive data
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rtc/epson,rtc7301.txt:
Microsoft Document Imaging Format
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/pnfs-block-server.txt:
PPMN archive data
arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm283x-rpi-usb-host.dtsi:
Sendmail frozen configuration - version = "host";
Documentation/networking/segmentation-offloads.txt:
StuffIt Deluxe Segment (data) : gmentation Offloads in the
Linux Networking Stack
arch/sparc/include/asm/visasm.h: SAS 7+
arch/xtensa/kernel/setup.c: ,
init=0x454c, stat=0x090a, dev=0x2009, bas=0x2020
drivers/cpufreq/powernow-k8.c:
TI-XX Graphing Calculator (FLASH)
tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/tc_shblocks.sh:
Minix filesystem, V2 (big endian)
tools/perf/tests/.gitignore:

All of the above seem to be valid ASCII or UTF-8 files, so the check
above will lead
to false-positives, but it may be good enough as they are the
exception, and may be
bugs in 'file'.
Not sure if we need to worry about 'file' not being installed.
