[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 09/30] board_f: Add new function to allow runtime DTB selection

Runtime U-boot dtb selection is generally a two step process. First step
is to simply use an initial generic dtb. The second step is to select
the dtb and perhaps execute additional code ones U-boot knows what board
it is running on. Embedded_dtb_select handles the second step by allowing
board specific code to run and perform what ever necessary configuration
that is needed.
