I think we can append arbitrary amount of data to the bin image before
dfu footer. But it looks to me as a complex solution to a non-existant
problem: why should anyone care about those distros that want to
maintain a kernel fork, but don't want to maintain a Qi fork (and
don't require users to use u-boot) or implement a simple workaround in
bootscripts?
