hmm, I'm not convinced. The build system puts ARM dtb images only in
arch/arm/boot, so IMHO they should only be ignored there. If the other
arch don't .gitignore the dtb files they should get a specific entry,
too.

Having said that, adding a / to my patch would be the right thing to do.
(i.e.

	+/*.dtb

) The other entries could get a slash, too. Maybe a bit over engineered.

Best regards
Uwe
