Description of problem: originally the aarch64 mustang boards required a dtb file to be passed to the kernel in order for it to know how to use certain hardware. This is no longer the case and should not be used by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.16.2 Additional info: on the rare occasion we do need to specify a dtb it would be nice to be able to specify it via the kernel_options dtb=path/under/tftpboot/mustang.dtb

Could we call the argument devicetree= instead of dtb=? That way it's a bit more obvious what it means, and it lines up with the GRUB command name which is also devicetree.
Also I just wanted to double-check that there is no urgency to this, right? The devicetree line which is currently in the GRUB config isn't doing any harm, is it? This is just a matter of tidying up and removing the Mustang-specific filename.
I was hoping this could go in 0.17. Would that be possible? I'll push a new patch Today that uses devicetree instead of dtb. (dtb stands for device tree binary)
Okay thanks Bill. We will get it into 0.17.
Beaker 0.17.0 has been released.
