This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled .gitignore: move *.dtb and *.dtb.S patterns to the top-level .gitignore to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gitignore-move-.dtb-and-.dtb.s-patterns-to-the-top-level-.gitignore.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 10b62a2f785ab55857380f0c63d9fa468fd8c676 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2017 00:33:46 +0900 Subject: .gitignore: move *.dtb and *.dtb.S patterns to the top-level .gitignore From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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.
