Documentation/process: maintainer-soc: add clean platforms profile
Some SoC platforms require that commits must not bring any new
dtbs_check warnings. Maintainers of such platforms usually have some
automation set, so any new warning will be spotted sooner or later.
Worst case: they run the tests themselves. Document requirements for
such platforms, so contributors can expect their patches being dropped
or ignored, if they bring new warnings for existing boards.
