Hi Arnd

I'm actually booting my device using a board file. But Debian
flash-kernel is pretty unhappy about that. The bootloader i have on
this machine is too old to passed DT blob. I will test appended DT
blob still works. And see if we have any board files which also don't
have a DT representation.
