Bug#872601: flash-kernel: Patch for Raspberry Pi 2 support

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Control: found -1 3.35
Control: notfound -1 3.79
Control: close -1

Forgot to add a version number to this report.

While trying to apply this patch to the latest version, I discovered
that there already is a RPi entry in version 3.79, and the reason this
did not work for me was that the wrong kernel (the one from the
collabora repo) was installed and not recognized.

I thus suspect this issue is a bit besides what can and should be fixed
in a Debian package, and flag it as not found in version 3.79.

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider the attached patch which adds support for Raspberry Pi
2 Model B.

The patch was lifted from
https://repositories.collabora.co.uk/debian/pool/rpi2/f/flash-kernel/ >
found via the blog post on
http://sjoerd.luon.net/posts/2015/02/debian-jessie-on-rpi2/ >
linked to from https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi2 >.

With the patched version of flash-kernel, apt is able to install a new
kernel as it should.
