I was looking into this, it looks like it could be made without even
touching the code.
The CI build uses environment variables to define which is the
board/hwpack to get: right now it is set to 'origen', we can switch to
'leb-origen' in the CI build just for this one.
If you cannot change the parameters of the build, we can do that for
you if you want.

>> Would it make sense to create the hwpack (vs just replacing the single kernel image package in the hwpack), as the dtb name specification in the leb-origen hwpack is quite strict (lib/firmware/*-lt-origen/device-tree/exynos4210-origen.dtb), and could lead to boot failures if it changes at some point later?

Regarding this, it could be good to update the hwpack configuration
file, using new 3.0 format and maybe even adding the dtb_files field.
