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?
