Stephen Boyd a512ae54ce .gitattributes: use 'dts' diff driver for dts files
Git is gaining support to display the closest node to the diff in the
hunk header via the 'dts' diff driver.  Use that driver for all dts and
dtsi files so we can gain some more context on where the diff is.
Taking a recent commit in the kernel dts files you can see the
difference.

With this patch and an updated git

You can see that we don't know what the context node is because it isn't
shown after the '@@'.

dts is not released yet but it is staged to be in the next release[1].
One can probably build git from source and try it out.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
