Nice, good suggestion. Now I have this "hack" in bb-uenv.txt:
------------------------------------------------------
uenvcmd=echo "[environment] delete fdtaddr"; env delete fdtaddr; setenv
loadfdt ''; setenv fdtfile "/boot/kernel/${fdtfile}"; echo
"[environment] loadfdt=${loadfdt}"; echo "[environment] fdtfile=${fdtfile}"
------------------------------------------------------
Not sure where FDT file should go? First I though maybe /boot/fdt...
then /boot/kernel seemed good place...
Also, maybe we should use this way of loading FDT in every platform it's
possible? No static FDT in kernel too. Ruins NFS boot, however...
