Today I've committed a bunch of changes to convert the BCM283[567]support in

sys/arch/arm/broadcom to use FDT[*]. It's not perfect, but its a goodstep in the right


direction.


To the user there should be very little difference apart from

- the kernel is now built as netbsd.img (and not netbsd.bin) in thekernel compile objdir.


- the *.dtb files from the kernel objdir need to be on the fat filesystem

- support for dtb overlays should work[**]

The images evbearmv6hf/rpi.img and evbearmv7hf/armv7.img have beentested on rpi1 model b, rpi2 and rpi3.
