I am confused by the reference to " 3.18.13-40". Should this be "3.8.13-40"? I don't think there is a cape manager in later kernels such as 3.13.x??

Yeah, I was thinking about something like this.  But since I am making a
video controller overlay, it is better if it had been loaded at kernel
initialization, and not as part of the init scripts.  I'd like the display
to be available to show some kernel startup.  So I will either just
overwrite the cape-bone-dvi-00A0.dts with my own stuff (and make a custom
Sunhillo-only patch), or will add a new overlay to KERNEL/firmware/Makefile.

It seems that a lot of people got confused by this issue (long discussion
here).  The problem is, the available documentation for 3.8 kernel seems to
imply that the /lib/firmware overlay files are available for startup load,
so it would be helpful if qualification was added.
If you disable "CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL" in the kernel build it
should search /lib/firmware/*.dtbo

Last i tried it caused a significant bootup delay, so i oped to just
build them all in by default..
