Bug#1028601: linux: DeviceTree files (*.dtb) should not have the executable bit set
Source: linux
Version: 6.1.4-1
Severity: normal

Hash: SHA256
The DeviceTree files (*.dtb) as shipped with the Debian kernel have the
executable bit set, but there is absolutely no need for that.
Lintian rightfully complains about it (executable-not-elf-or-script).

The sources for them (*.dts) don't have the executable bit set though.
