Hi,

Can 'make distclean' please be altered to _not_ silently remove empty files,
especially ones that are checked into GIT and/or are mentioned in Makefiles as
being compilable.  By all means flag them as requiring removal, remove them
noisily or give an error.

A case in point is:

	arch/arm/mach-zynq/board_dt.c

which is an empty file checked into GIT.

Thanks,
David
