From: Andrew Jeffery <andrew at aj.id.au>
The commandline provided had several issues:
* The -dtb option was redundant as we boot with the cuImage, and caused
some kernel configuration to be skipped which in turn ended in a
kernel panic
* -append argument was redundant with respect to the devicetree
* The file paths used typically required the user to change up out of
the build directory after bitbaking obmc-phosphor-image
The patch addresses all of the above.
