I've tested this on the HW I have access to but I'm still running into
problems.

RaspberryPi B+: Fails with "Could not find a valid device tree"
message. I need to debug this further.

RaspberryPi 3: Boots successfully. However "earlyprintk" is missing
from the bootargs so we miss kernel messages which may be useful for
debug.
