Yes, if I don't append the DTB and I set ArcNumber to 1682 then it boots using 
the ref board setup, if the DTB is appended then it doesn't boot (I configured 
the kernel to support iconnect, dreamplug and RD-88F6281)

That's exactly how I had been booting it with my old kernel, I was just 
wondering what your setup is to help narrow down the difference that means 
yours works and mine doesn't.

I tried disabling ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT and setting my desired command line in 
the dts but that didn't help. I'll have to give some thought to what to try 
next.

P.S. I note your LED names don't have the platform name in fromnt of them - I 
thought that was normally included to avoid any confusion with LED names for 
attached peripherals.
