I've looked at commits for imx6ul-* devicetree files and that was how
I derived this commit/subject. I see a number of different patterns
and if one is preferred over the other I would appreciate the
clarification.

e.g. looking at commits of imx6ul-*
"ARM: dts:" is used for a number of initial devicetree commits
"ARM: dts: imx6ul: <board>:" is used a few times
"ARM: dts: imx6ul-<board>:" is also used a few times

For initial commits of a devicetree, or modifications of a devicetree,
what is the preferred pattern moving forward?

Thank you for your continued support.
