  MFC r338219, r338250: FDT in Loader fixes
  
  r338219:
  fdt_fixups: relocate the /chosen node after applying fixups
  
  As indicated by the comment, any fixups applied (which might include
  overlays) can invalidate the previously located node by adding nodes or
  setting/adding properties. The later fdt_setprop of fixup-applied property
  would then fail because of the bad/wrong node offset.
  
  This would have generally been harmless, but potentially caused multiple
  applications of fixups and caused a little bit of bloat.
  
  r338250:
  efiloader: Setup FDT in autoload to fix overlays clobbering kenv
  
  manu found in the noted PR that overlays seemed to be clobbering the kenv
  and killing the boot. Further inspection revealed that one can `fdt ls` at
  the loader prompt for a successful boot, but autoboot breaks it.
  
  In the autoboot case, first setup of FDT is happening in the middle of
  bi_load, which triggers loading of the DTBO from /boot.
  
  This is bad, bad, bad. Files in the loader are loaded somewhere in the
  middle of the address space one after another. bi_load starts building the
  needed kernel bootinfo immediately after the highest-addr loaded file. File
  loads in the middle of bi_load suddenly clobber bootinfo and everything goes
  off the rails.
  
  The solution to this is to use take advantage of arch_autoload to setup FDT
  in efiloader compiled with LOADER_FDT_SUPPORT. This matches how it works in
  ubldr land, and is how it should have worked when overlay support was added
  to efiloader since fdt_setup_fdtp now has the potential to load files
  (courtesy of fdt_platform_load_dtb).
