Hi Michal,
looks good, I've been waiting a long time on the FDT support in U-Boot
for Microblaze -- great -- PS: see my comment on patch 5 ...

Yes, that's right. We will never be in the position to define a skeleton
or a basic platform configuration.

... directly in the context of a board, not arch/cpu, right?

That are CPP errors, because the auto generated xilinx.dts is full of
CPP pragma like syntax (#something) that are wrong (invalid).

Instead of disable / skipp the CPP step you can hide the auto generated
xilinx.dts with a second include stage, for example:
board/microblaze/dts/microblaze.dts looks like:
/include/ ARCH_CPU_DTS
/include/ BOARD_DTS
Right, only two lines. The arch/microblaze/dts/microblaze.dtsi remains
empty as you have said above. Just new is BOARD_DTS -- with the attached
patch for dts/Makefile you can copy the auto generated xilinx.dts into
the specific board directory and the CPP step substitute the right place
to board/microblaze/microblaze-generic/dts/microblaze.dts
I think there are no side effects with other ports like the tegra2.
If you want you can omit the ARCH_CPU_DTS inclusion. The architectural
microblaze.dtsi file is empty and (!!) have to be empty, because the DTC
will break with an error on multiple "/dts-v1/;" lines!
Here is the patch:
