EFI stub: Booting Linux using EFI stub, Kernel panic,unflatten_device_tree, Arndale

[Sander]

Hello all,

I try to boot with EFI stub on an Arndale, both with a provided dtb and
with an appended dtb.

With an appended dtb, I get "EFI stub: ERROR: Device tree header not valid."

With a provided dtb, I get the below kernel panic.

The reason I try to boot with the Shell is that if I just let the board
boot (Boot Manager), I don't see any devices plugged in on usb or sata.
It does say:

[    0.000000] efi: Getting parameters from FDT:
[    0.000000] efi: Can't find System Table in device tree!

Which turns up empty in google.

Kernel is patched with the patch series
"[PATCH V6 0/8] Add ARM EFI stub" from Roy Franz.

dtb is copied from arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250-arndale.dtb

Do you have any tip as to what I can try to get the Arndale to boot?

	Sander
