Need to build the DT blob for Snowball, Linux Linaro Tracking project

[Fathi Boudra]

we need to build DT for snowball builds:
linux-linaro-tracking-ll-branch_u8500-snowball
package-and-publish-linux-linaro-u8500-3.7

It should propagate up to the hwpack and pre-built image.

[Andrey Konovalov (andrey-konovalov)]

linux-linaro-tracking-ll-branch_u8500-snowball builds the dtb (search for "dtbs" in the build log) and includes it into the hwpack it creates.
See e.g. http://snapshots.linaro.org/kernel-hwpack/linux-linaro-tracking-ll-branch/linux-linaro-tracking-ll-branch_u8500-snowball/hwpack_linaro-snowball_20121210-1550_b59_armhf_supported.tar.gz (/lib/firmware/3.7-rc8-606-g59b6ef4-u8500-linaro-ux500/device-tree/snowball.dtb in the linux-image-* package).
I'll check if the dtb file loaded by the u-boot ok when LAVA is back online.

linux-linaro tree has everything needed to build DT blob for showball.

I've just pushed the relevant hwpack changes into git://git.linaro.org/hwpack/snowball.git

NB: u-boot 2013.01 is needed to pass the dtb to the kernel; earlier u-boot versions aren't able to do that.
