Checks for creator.rootdev not being None were missing and would cause
the kernel command line to read "root=None". When using the Discoverable
Partitions Specification, we really want no root= parameter on the
kernel command line (and root=None is anyhow not a valid option).
A patch has been sent to upstream OE wic plugins to apply these changes:

Unless an issue is critical or an update causes regressions, we normally
sync by pulling in an upstream version of wic and then aligning our
derivatives to it.
