Running rpi-update breaks image #12

I downloaded the vc4-buildbot from http://sukzessiv.net/~gohai/vc4-buildbot/build/20151220-1053-vc4-image.zip, wrote it to an SD card with Win32DiskImager and put it inside my RPI2. Works perfectly. The RGBCube sketch runs fine.

However running "rpi-update" and rebooting breaks the system. The RPI2 will boot, but eventually crash into a black screen with a blinking underscore.

@Quorong rpi-update is generally not advised on those images, as the firmware updates also seem to update/restore /opt/vc, which is the closed-source userspace driver. The creation of those images pulls in the latest firmware at the time anyway - I'll test the new firmware when I get to it, just to make sure!
