+*.dtb.S

.dtb.S?

I think I have the correct .gitignore syntax.

What I meant was, where are you generating .dtb.S files that you need
to ignore them?

They are a byproduct of $(call cmd,dtc).

Normally make removes them automatically, but if you abort at just
the right time, they can be left around.

If it is objectionable, I can just remove that .gitignore bit.

No, if they're byproducts of cmd,dtc they should be there.  I'm just a
bit baffled as to why cmd,dtc would produce such byproducts.  dtc
itself will convert dts ->  dtb without any extraneous intermediate
steps.

I misspoke.

$(call cmd,dtc) does indeed just do the direct conversion.  There are 
other rules in scripts/Makefile.lib that convert the .dtb into a .dtb.o 
file that generate the .dtb.S files.
