DTS in the bindings (example in a YAML file) does not have tabs at all,
but regular DTS do, therefore entire check check_tab_in_dts() has
confusing name and should apply only to YAML files.

DTS often have spaces after tabs in indentation for aligning continued
lines of comments or list properties, thus allow such cases to avoid
many false positives. What we can easily detect is a space followed by
tab or too many spaces (more than alignment).
OTOH, DTS example in YAML files does not have tabs at all and there is
already rule for that, thus there is no point to check for mixed
indentation there.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The check for excessive space characters (> 7) is not applied to continuation lines, allowing invalid mixed indentation to silently pass.
- [Low] Dead code: Unreachable `LineType.PREPROCESSOR` check inside continuation loop.

dtc: dt-check-style: Allow space-aligning indentation in DTS
This commit modifies the dt-check-style script to allow spaces after tabs
in DTS indentation for aligning continued lines. It limits spaces to a
maximum of 7 and explicitly disallows a space followed by a tab.

[Severity: Low]
Are preprocessor lines possible in this continuation list? The logic that
builds the list seems to guarantee that continuations only ever contain
LineType.CONTINUATION elements, as preprocessor directives reset the
continuation state and are added to the main line list instead.
> + if re.search(r' \t', cont.indent_str):
> + yield (cont.lineno, 'mixed tabs and spaces in indent')
[Severity: Medium]
Should this loop over continuations also enforce the check for excessive
space characters? While the primary line is checked for more than 7 spaces
above, continuation lines omit this validation, which could allow invalid
mixed indentation to pass silently.

[Severity: Medium]
Does the continuation line with value <4> contain 9 space characters?
Because the excessive space check is omitted for continuations in the
dt-check-style script, this 9-space indentation goes undetected.

[Severity: Medium]
Should this expected output file also be updated once the excessive space
check is applied to the continuations loop? It currently fails to assert a
mixed-indent-chars warning for the 9-space continuation in the clocks
property above.

Individual rules behave differently depending whether they handle
bindings (YAML) or DTS, but the code was focusing on type of indentation
(spaces vs tabs). That indentation is actually irrelevant in some
rules, so differentiate based on file type. This will be more relevant
in the future when more rules act differently on DTS, than on bindings.

A few nodes do have "device_type" property which is mostly, but not always,
the first property in a device node, when applicable. Adjust the DTS
coding style rules to actually expect the device_type first and improve
the dt-check-style to handle this correctly.

dt-check-style was not properly handling DTC directives (starting with
'/', e.g. /dts-v1/ or /include/), thus a few DTS files had false
positive like:
apm/apm-merlin.dts:1: [indent-unit-dts] indent unit must be 1 tab in DTS, got '\t\t'

Script judges the indentation however always suggests it is the first
line which is wrong, e.g.:
sigmastar/mstar-infinity2m.dtsi:1: [indent-unit-dts] indent unit must be 1 tab in DTS, got '\t\t'
