Francois Muller 4dc75cedf7 devicetree: Add minimal support with RPi bootloader
[RPi DT info] https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/master/configuration/device-tree.md#part-3-using-device-trees-on-raspberry-pi

RPi bootloader detects a DT-ready kernel by checking for a specific trailer in kernel.img.
Using latest raspberrypi/firmware (firmware.inc) enables this check ability.
Using latest raspberrypi/tools (rpi-mkimage.bb) gives access to mkknlimg for adding the
required trailer to kernel image.


If KERNEL_DEVICETREE is filled in, 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).
If KERNEL_DEVICETREE is empty, this new process isn't operated, legacy one does.

KERNEL_DEVICETREE for RPi is really supported only starting from linux-rapsberry 3.18+
kernels, so as for now it defaults to empty (in machine config file).
