Bug#734769: flash-kernel: Guruplug doesn't boot with 3.12-1-kirkwood add db entry so we have DT appended.

[William Boughton <bill@boughton.eu>]

Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

My Guruplug server plus doesn't boot with 3.12-1-kirkwood due
to the lack of non DT support in 3.12-1-kirkwood and a flash-kernel
configuration entry to apend the dtb file to the installed kernel.

The problem is like that with the sheevaplug in #731345

I added and modified another all.db entry which seems to fix this:

This correctly appends the dtb and 3.12-1-kirkwood boots here on a guruplug server plus.
also tested on wheezy with linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-kirkwood and
linux-image-3.10-3-kirkwood which boots and seems to work including ethernet.


I don't know if there are other models of guruplug, there only seems to be a single guruplug dtb.

thanks

bill
