ok then do we want to support this option? If this shouldn't be enabled
in any config in the tree? (Note: someone has to enable that and keep
building u-boot to ensure that this feature still work)

The reason why I have enabled that was that using u-boot-dtb.img is
breaking all users because they have to start to change a lot of things.
That's why having OF_EMBED enabled was less painful.
Users which use these boards just don't recognize any change when this
feature is enabled.

Using different names for u-boot image.

Thanks,
