If the DTB has been appended then it should Just Happen on reboot, I
think. I'm 99% certain that the 3.16 kernel in Jessie had the options
to enable DTB on this platform turned on. Specifically it should have
 CONFIG_ARCH_KIRKWOOD_DT=y.

You say "the kernel is flashed using the dtb", please could you post
the logs from flash-kernel to confirm this. And the dmesg from the
subsequent boot (whether board or DTB) would be useful too.

I've no smart ideas, but you could maybe workaround by listing them in
/etc/modules?
