Is this really needed?  A few weeks ago I tested booting the RPI2
kernel on an RPI 3 A+, and that worked even though I did not have a
bcm2837-rpi-3-a-plus.dtb .  I think the firmware with netbsd-9 loads
bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb (or perhaps 3-b-plus.dtb) instead.

Okuyama-san said that he had to build a .dtb manually for his RPI2 v1.2,
but I don't know if that was for current or netbsd-9 - are you saying
that you did not have to do this?  I don't have an RPI2 v1.2 yet,
otherwise I would just test myself.


Thanks!
