[U-Boot] [PATCH REPOST] ARM: tegra: use standard variables to define load addresses

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Currently, Tegra's default environment uses non-standard variables to define
where boot scripts should load the kernel, FDT, and initrd. This change both
changes the variable names to match those described in U-Boot's README, and
shuffles their values around a little so that the values make a little more
sense; see comments in the patch for rationale behind the values chosen.

Note that this patch does remove the old non-standard variable "fdt_load" from
the default environment, so this patch requires people to change their boot
scripts.

+ *   kernel's CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR option to work. Since the kernel will

+ *   data passed to the kernel shouldn't overlap the start of RAM. Pushing
+ *   this up to 16M allows for a sizable kernel to be decompressed below the
+ *   compressed load address.
+ *
+ * fdt_addr_r simply shouldn't overlap anything else. Choosing 32M allows for

+ *
+ * ramdisk_addr_r simply shouldn't overlap anything else. Choosing 33M allows
+ *   for the FDT/DTB to be up to 1M, which is hopefully plenty.
