[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH v3] Fix initrd length miscalculation in bootm command when using a dtu

The do_bootm_linux() function uses the same variable ('len') to calculate the
dtu (flat device tree wrapped in a uImage) length and the initrd length, which
means that the initrd length was incorrect when it was needed.  This patch
changes any code that uses 'len' or 'data' as temporary variables to use
the values directly instead.  It also adds a comment to the definitions
of 'len' and 'data' reminding other programmers what they represent.

This patch is a simplied version of the initrd patch that only fixes the root
problem, without renaming any variables.  This bug was introduced in commit
87a449c8ac396420cb24260f717ea9e6faa82047.
