Missing RaspberryPi 3B+

[Adam Smith]

The new Raspberry Pi 3B+ is missing from the flash-kernel database. Support has been added to the bionic raspi2 kernel, so it would be great if the other packages could support it too.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Here's the appropriate entry for all.db:

# Raspberry Pi 3 B+
Machine: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3
DTB-Id: bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb
U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.rpi3
Required-Packages: u-boot-tools
Boot-DTB-Path: /boot/firmware/bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb
Boot-Kernel-Path: /boot/firmware/vmlinuz
Boot-Initrd-Path: /boot/firmware/initrd.img
Boot-Script-Path: /boot/firmware/boot.scr

"Machine: BCM2710" is not listed to not overlap with the 3 B entry; the B+ is also apparently considered a BCM2710, but /proc/device-tree/model shows "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3" on modern kernels/DTBs.

On multiple 4.17 kernels I'm seeing Machine show up as follows when I do this:

cat /proc/device-tree/model

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

Perhaps that should be in the Machine line in the flash-kernel database?

[satmandu (satadru-umich)]

Also, 4.18 looks like it has a bcm2837-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb file. Moving forward, is that the expected dtb file for use with the Raspberry Pi 3 B+?

[Adam Smith (adamsmith)]

@satmandu I'm guessing you are using an 'upstream' or a generic kernel. They seem to have different dtb file names to the raspi2 kernels.
