[YBA] diff'ing kernel source trees

[Jonathan Ben Avraham]

Hi Muli,
Thanks, I did not know about the mrproper target.

The problem was that the previous owner of these trees left a lot of 
"uImage_copy", "old_uImage.sammy", and dozens of .swp and .swo files in 
the trees along with board-dm365-evm.c, board-dm365-evm.c.bak, 
board-dm365-evm.c.dave, etc. No target however smart can hope to find all 
of these files.
