This feature shouldn't be removed. It's still useful if you want U-Boot
to load the DT (e.g. for network booting), or simply don't want to rely
upon the firmware.

Note that the DT names are intended to match the mainline Linux kernel
(although I never go around to implementing them all), so it's no
surprise that they don't match the Pi Foundation kernel filenames, which
haven't been standardized.
