Support for the RaspberryPi2 platform

[Paolo Pisati]

Simple database entry for the raspberrypi2 board:

-no trasformation done on the kernel actually, just enough to avoid flash-kernel complain about an "unsupported platform"

-everytime a new kernel is installed copy the bundled dtb file to first vfat partition on the sd card, where the broadcom bootloader resides and where it looks for the dtb file to load

The attachment "raspi2.diff" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

Hmm two quick things:
- this doesn't seem to match the flash-kernel changes done in the PPA for RPi2 support which also defines a Kernel-Flavors field in the db (and which is missing raspi2, only has rpi2) – not sure that's intentional or not
- do we really want to copy over the DTB from linux? I thought we could only use the upstream one?!

Thanks,

The raspi2 kernel package now contains a kernel image suitable for booting, e.g., /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/kernel7.img

Ignore #4. I reverted that patch since u-boot loads a vmlinuz just fine.

1) which ppa? i can't find where this 'rpi2' enabled flash-kernel is

2) we build dtb + dtb overlays with the kernel now to keep them synchronized and working
