Title:
  flash-kernel subarch check fails with Linaro OMAP kernels

Status in “flash-kernel” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “flash-kernel” source package in Natty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: flash-kernel

  When using flash-kernel with a recent Linaro kernel on an OMAP4 board
  the subarch check fails because the kfile does not end with a '3' or
  '4' - it's just named like this: vmlinuz-2.6.37-1002-linaro-omap.
  Since the linaro-omap kernel supports both the OMAP3 and OMAP4 there
  is no need to add a '3' or '4'.

  The attached patch omits the check_subarch check for OMAP boards if
  $kfile matches the substring 'linaro-omap'.
