The image size appears to have outgrown the defined firmware region, and u-boot will error out with a checksum mismatch error. A solution for this is to start shipping a compressed kernel (Image.gz target). flash-kernel needs updating to detect a compressed kernel and set the appropriate uImage compression flag. Similarly, d-i needs updating because it does it's own uImage generation. [Test Case] Boot an hwe-y kernel on an xgene/uboot system (APM Mustang, HP ProLiant m400). [Regression Risk] The necessary code is in place and in-use for yakkety, and no issues have been discovered there. The SRU involves clean cherry-picks of that code for d-i & f-k. The kernel side needs to be modified to pull in the correct version of flash-kernel for xenial.
