commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ae86a3c5331f47c4a5093a5ea8f7e53408a6ea98
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Fixes bug #5516 - appended device tree blobs on uImage fails

Before version 3.7 of the kernel, building the zImage and then the
uImage will rewrite the zImage in the process, removing the device tree
we just appended.

Use mkimage to append the device tree to the uImage and rebuild the
headers directly.
