DTB generation for last step of u-boot

[fenrig]

in " meta-beagleboard / common-bsp / conf / machine / beaglebone.conf " there is a missing line: KERNEL_DEVICETREE = "${S}/arch/arm/boot/dts/am355x-boneblack.dts". This is needed for dtb generation ( http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Build+Device+Tree+Blob#x-Task Description-Creating a Device Tree Source (.dts) file )
Error uboot without dtb (you can get dtb from other distro's as well, look at archlinux arm image in /boot/dtbs):

This results in a new bug in " meta-beagleboard / common-bsp / recipes-kernel / linux / linux.inc " because there is no "package_stagefile_shell()", I fixed it by copying it from " meta / recipes-kernel / linux / linux-dtb.inc " . Now I'm still a beginner at OE and yocto (I used yocto v9) so maybe this is a ugly workaround. If you want I can send a guide of how I did this (allthough it's not that complex)
