As the comparison uses process substitution to pass files after
conversion to DTS format, the diff header doesn't show the real
filenames, but the names of the file descriptors used:
--- /dev/fd/63 2017-06-22 11:21:47.531637188 +0200
+++ /dev/fd/62 2017-06-22 11:21:47.531637188 +0200
This is especially annoying when comparing a bunch of DT files in a
loop, as the output doesn't show a clue about which files it refers to.
Fix this by explicitly passing the original file names to the diff
command using the --label option, giving e.g.:
--- arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-koelsch.dtb
+++ arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-porter.dtb
