Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Unable to boot into system after upgrade to 4.4.0-1030.37

  [Test Case]

   * fresh install ubuntu-16.04.1-preinstalled-server-
  armhf+raspi2.img.xz

   * enable -proposed and 'apt full-upgrade'

  [Regression Potential]

   * red led still on, but few green led blinks then stay at the black
  screen(hdmi on)

  [Other Info]

   * restore the working boot partition backup image could recover the
  situation

  [Solution]

  * The latest X/raspi2 kernel in -proposed blows the space the
  bootloader reserves for the DTB, making the board unbootable (it only
  happens with classic rpi2 images created by the Foundation, Snappy is
  fine)

  * Ppa:p-pisati/misc has these 3 new packages that fix it:

   - linux-firmware-raspi2 - contains the latest Broadom fw release, and
     upon installation checks that /boot/firmware/config.txt contains the
     new DTB memory location, and if not, it does the necessary
     modification on behalf of the user
   
   - flash-kernel - modifies uboot.env to find the DTB in the new memory location
   
   - uboot -  update uboot to work with the new boot firmware (aka skip
     serial initialization if already done by the fw), contains the
     mkknlimg required when installing a new u-boot binary and correctly
     installs the uboot binary in the vfat partition

  [How to test it]

  * Install a fresh foundation image, add my misc ppa and the xenial
  -proposed repository, apt-get update && dist-upgrade, once the board
  completes the upgrade reboot it.
