[U-Boot] [PATCH] ARM: tegra: allow passing cboot DTB to the kernel

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Some users may wish to pass the cboot-supplied DTB to the booted kernel
rather than having U-Boot load the DTB itself. To allow this, expose the
address of the cboot-supplied DTB in environment variable $fdt_addr. At
least when using extlinux.conf, if the user doesn't explicitly specify
which DTB to pass to the kernel, U-Boot passes the DTB referred to by
this variable.
