This prints:
  # help bootm
bootm - boot application image from memory

Usage:
bootm [addr [arg ...]]
     - boot application image stored in memory
	passing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux kernel,
	'arg' can be the address of an initrd image

Sub-commands to do part of the bootm sequence.  The sub-commands must be
issued in the order below (it's ok to not issue all sub-commands):
	start [addr [arg ...]]
	loados  - load OS image
	cmdline - OS specific command line processing/setup
	bdt     - OS specific bd_t processing
	prep    - OS specific prep before relocation or go
	go      - start OS

(Yes, #define CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1 is in my board config)
