I've applied to master. However, I'm not entirely happy with the fact
that grub2 requires wchar, but it's maybe a dependency that can be
removed once we introduce grub2-tools
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/755651/).

Anyway for now, adding the wchar option in the minnowboard defconfig is
the only option we have.

Best regards,

Thomas
