2.K. Device tree support
=========================
Device tree for RPi is only supported when using linux-raspberrypi 3.18+
kernels.
* Set KERNEL_DEVICETREE (in conf/machine/raspberrypi.conf)
- the trailer is added to the kernel image before kernel install task.
While creating the SDCard image, this modified kernel is put on
boot partition (as kernel.img) as well as DeviceTree blobs (.dtb files).
NOTE: KERNEL_DEVICETREE is empty by default.
