Haven't tried it, but if this does not work, then it is a bug that
needs to be fixed. Do you have access to a mx53 qsb board? Does it
work there?

On mx6 we have several boards calling setenv from the board files.

Yes, take a look at include/configs/mx53loco.h: we have the variable
boot_fdt, just set it: "setenv boot_fdt no" to boot a non-dt kernel.

Does this problem also happen on mx53 qsb?
