Originally, 'make DEVICE_TREE_DEBUG=1' only generated extra output on

left behind lots of files that clutter the repo and are hard to get
rid of manually.
Make sure that a 'make clean' will remove those files, and add them to
.gitignore.

Would it make sense to simply change this to *.dtb.* ? Or do you think
that is too much ?
I think I'm leaning on the explicit mention of each suffix. Had there
already been a *.dtb.* pattern, I would probably not have noticed and
thus not been prompted to amend the 'make clean' rule, so I think it's
better that some potential future .dtb.foo artifact does show up in 'git
status' as an untracked file. But this is certainly not a strong
opinion, and I'd be fine either way.
I would be fine with .dts.foo showing up, but .dtb.foo are most likely
build artifacts ?
