It is already supported in u-boot.

You will need to create a .dts file to describe your board, compile it 
with the dtc compiler, and boot using either the 3 parameter version of 
bootm or using a FIT all-in-one image (preferred).

See also the linux documentation:
   <linux/Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt>

and some more FDT background:

If you have specific questions after reading the above, ask away.

Best regards,
gvb
