Missing SUPPORTED_DEVICES.

I've pushed a fix to master here and will backport it end of the week:

522f6b7

This should be included in 19.07.3 then, unless you want to build yourself earlier.

(This just adds the support information. If you are really sure you are using the correct image, just force-flash the 19.07.2 image. My patch won't change anything despite that board string.)
