Description

Motivation
I use Obsidian a lot for note-taking, which relies on Prism for syntax highlighting. Since I do some embedded Linux and Zephyr real-time OS work, I frequently interact with the Devicetree language for describing hardware. It would really be nice if I could get syntax highlighting for the Devicetree language in my notes.

Specification:
https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/

Description
Add Devicetree language support for syntax highlighting in prism, with labels "devicetree" or "dts" as identifiers.

Alternatives
As of now I just use either raw text highlighting or C syntax highlighting, which is not entirely accurate but close for very small snippets.

Research direction

Read the Devicetree specification and compare it with Prism's existing syntax-highlighting support. Add Devicetree support using the "devicetree" or "dts" identifiers, then verify that representative Devicetree snippets receive accurate highlighting.
