2) Install apport package
3) Run following command to verify if apport collects power specific
information.
apport-cli -f -p linux-generic --save=/home/sachin/linux.apport
The command fails with following error :

Looking at the code we are doing a cat /dev/nvram to the apport output file
which doesn't sounds right to me. I would think using the function add_tar()
creating a tar file and copying the content as a ascii file at end of apport
output file more appropriate.
One dummy question remaining, how getting the tar file from the ascii output
file if we need to ? ( that's also true to validate the content of the
DeviceTree tar file).
Would suggest following patch:
