Please see the debdiff for updating to 1.20160503+6832d9a
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/6832d9a431a98b640accb2b76eac38a420d7c680).
This enables boot support for the Raspberry Pi 3
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi/RaspberryPi3).

In addition, I've modified the package to install Broadcom 43430
firmware, needed for the RPi3's wifi/bluetooth module.  Apparently this
firmware was given directly from Broadcom to the Raspberry Pi folks, as
the only canonical location I've found for it is
http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree
/firmware-nonfree_0.43+rpi4.dsc . There's a copy on Github at
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-
nonfree/tree/54bab3d6a6d43239c71d26464e6e10e5067ffea7/brcm80211/brcm
