Will update u-boot.img to u-boot-dtb.img.

Wait for more comments on the patch set and will address this in V3.

Actually I am not very sure whether we need to introduce a full device tree
in U-Boot or not. It's too large a file, such as dtsi/clock header/pin header.

I just have an idea to introudce only needed part. Also I do not have
plan to implement a DM clk driver for i.MX, since it's not easy to
do clk management like linux kernel. If follow kernel, and add all the
gates/muxes, it's too complicated a driver, and not easy for us to
do bringup work. So I am thinking whether need to discard the clk
related property in device tree.

Thanks,
Peng.
