Its filename is gitattributes-use-dts-diff-driver-for-dts-files.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/gitattributes-use-dts-diff-driver-for-dts-files.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/gitattributes-use-dts-diff-driver-for-dts-files.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: .gitattributes: Use 'dts' diff driver for dts files Git is gaining support to display the closest node to the diff in the hunk header via the 'dts' diff driver. Use that driver for all dts and dtsi files so we can gain some more context on where the diff is. Taking a recent commit in the kernel dts files you can see the difference.
