** Description changed:
- Please add a build-dep on libfdt-dev, which will add flat device tree
- support to qemu. This will let users pass the '-dtb' command line
- option, allowing us to specify a device tree file. Though it is
- supposedly possible to pass a dtb file to the instance by appending it
- to the zImage, I've been unable to get this to work (even with
- CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB=y). The -dtb method is more straightforward and
- I've been able to boot a highbank target with it (and the patch
- referenced in #1030588):
+ [Impact]

+ [Fix]

+ [Test Case]
