Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs: process: maintainer-soc-clean-dts: linux-next is decisive

Devicetree bindings patches go usually via driver subsystem tree, so
obviously testing only SoC branches would result in new dtbs_check
warnings.  Mention that linux-next branch is decisice for zero-warnings
rule.
