I mentioned dt-check-style as it is a useful tool and it would be
beneficial if more/all future submissions were also checked with it.
I would not make it part of the commit message though.
Just like 'checkpatch' is a tool in the toolbox, so is dt-check-style.

Because the actual reason for this change is a violation of the DTS coding
style ... which I would put in the commit message.

Making explicit which fixes you've done is fine AFAIC, but not strictly
needed as the diff already shows it. I would rather use "No functional
changes.", instead of 'blobs are unchanged'.

But as you noticed, it's not flawless. My guess is that it actually does
an alphanumerical sort, while the DTS coding style prescribes a natural
sorting. Dunno if there's an actual (enforceable) definition for it.

I would not list what I see as tool errors in the commit message though.

AFAIC no need for a new version for (just) this though.

My 0.02
