As Florian has already mentioned, the preferred format for the summary
for arch/arm is "ARM: ... " and by extension for arch/arm/boot/dts,
it's "ARM: dts: ...", not "arm: DT: ..."
Please ensure that *all* your submissions follow this preferred
format.
When in doubt, do a git log on the file(s) you are modifying to
discover what has been used in the past.
