I must confess I've sort of lost track over what is happening with this patch/bug.
I've included my latest pair patches. They switch to using /proc/device-tree/model to identify the board (only when that node is available) and implement support for copying a DTB supplied by the kernel package (per [0]) into /boot. They don't currently support appending the DTB to the kernel image but that would be easy enough to add if/when we have made a decision to go that route. Ian.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Use /proc/device-tree/model in preference to
/proc/cpuinfo:Hardware
If a system uses Device Tree then this node will be present and will identify
the actual hardware platform whereas /proc/cpuinfo:Hardware will only identify
the general class of platform.
Add support for "Marvell Kirkwood (Flattened Device Tree)" using this scheme.
