I have seen no such bugs during my testing, but can you try with the
attached patch?

I've only discovered this simplification of the code recently and didn't
take the time to submit a patch for it, I guess I have the opportunity
now :)

Thanks,
Maxime

The problem it's on the patch "[PATCH 2/4] Add support for appended
device tree blobs for arm ",
please read my replay on the patch.

I tried your patch on top of the others, but the patch doesn't apply:

git apply < ~/Downloads/uimage-dtb.patch
<stdin>:20: trailing whitespace.
	cat $(KERNEL_ARCH_PATH)/boot/$(KERNEL_DTS_NAME).dtb >>
$(KERNEL_ARCH_PATH)/boot/zImage
<stdin>:21: trailing whitespace.
	# We need to generate the uImage here after that so that the uImage is
<stdin>:22: trailing whitespace.
	# generated with the right image size.
<stdin>:23: trailing whitespace.
	$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) $(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS) -C $(@D) uImage
<stdin>:29: trailing whitespace.
	cat $(KERNEL_ARCH_PATH)/boot/$(KERNEL_DTS_NAME).dtb >>
$(KERNEL_ARCH_PATH)/boot/zImage
error: patch failed: linux/linux.mk:198
error: linux/linux.mk: patch does not apply

Hmmm, that's weird, it applies fine here on top of these patches.
Let me send another version of these patches then.
