[Bug 1364035] Re: armhf: dtb movement from /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) to /boot/$(uname -r)

 

AH! This is actually no bug!

The idea is to use flash-kernel to cat the kernel image and dtb into one zImage, which the default u-boot environment can find.
Saving all dtb files to /lib/firmware/ saves space on the (probably) limited boot-partition...

Instructions for the different hardware can be found at /etc/flash-
kernel/db
