It is needed, but not sure if flash-kernel needs to take care of that
file and regenerate every time a kernel is installed. I'll investigate
if it is worth adding support for it.

I was about to send out a better pointer:

I am not sure which kernel flavour we should use, hence I dropped an
email to debian-arm@l.d.o, there is contributed code, probably by
ubuntu, which adds "imx51", "mx51", etc... I think that needs to be
clarified, so I am working on it.
