Thanks!

[1/1] Delete .builtin-dtbs.S when running make clean
      https://git.kernel.org/kbuild/c/a76e30c2479ce

Please look out for regression or issue reports or other follow up
comments, as they may result in the patch/series getting dropped or
reverted. Patches applied to an "unstable" branch are accepted pending
wider testing in -next and any post-commit review; they will generally
be moved to the main branch in a week if no issues are found.

Best regards,
