Ah yes, it's only OpenELEC 5.0.1 on the Pi2 that is using the updated 3.18 kernel. The Pi1 is still using the older kernel which doesn't yet support device tree (in which case that howto should apply, but you're better off with device tree as it's the future for Raspberry Pi 1 and 2).
To upgrade to a kernel 3.18 Pi1 test build just download the tar file, copy it to your Update folder and reboot. Note that my test builds are based on Kodi 15, which despite being alpha is very stable, but is using an updated video database schema (v91). If you want to switch back to official builds, just copy the official tar into your Update folder, reboot and delete/drop MyVideos91.
