If you don't want to wait for a release, you can clone the snapcraft
repository[1] and apply the above fix locally:

git clone https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft.git

The kernel snaps for the dragonboard (and the raspberry and pc), are generated
from the deb packages in our archive, using this script:

https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-snap/+git/xenial

Starting from the snapdragon branch, the snapcraft.yaml there invokes the
Makefile in the master branch.

This was done to use the x86 signed kernels (required for trusted boot), and the same mechanism
was reused for arm.

But for development, snapcratf and the kernel plugin are the way to go.
