ARM: devicetree: Add .dtb files to arch/arm/boot/.gitignore

Compiled device tree blobs shouldn't be committed in the kernel
tree, so ideally git should ignore them.

This patch will enable ignoring of any .dtb files which appear in
arch/arm/boot/

I added my ack tag on the same patch below, but it died in the end?

I don't mind too much which patch goes in -- do we care about whether
other .dtb files can be included in the kernel?


I would suggest that it is just plain wrong for _binary_ devicetree
blobs to appear in the kernel tree, since there is a readily usable
source form for the same thing (this isn't firmware)

Do we think that the '.dtb' filename extension might get used foro
something else?

Never mind, it looks like Grant merged my patch anyway.
