Please follow proper netiquette by not top-posting and by always
including the mailing list as CC:

I'm very, very far from being a device tree expert and am not up to
date on the wonderful FDT work that Jerry Van Baren and friends have
worked on over the last several months.  AFAIK, there's no way around
having the kernel and device tree as separate images.  If both truly
need to be dynamic, of course you're going to have to download both
each time.  You can certainly minimize the amount of human interaction
by scripting U-boot to automatically TFTP the blobs to pre-defined
addresses and then boot from there.

Sorry, that's all I can suggest.

regards,
Ben
