[U-Boot] [PATCH] distro: load FDT from any partition on boot device

In the EFI_LOADER boot path, we were only checking the FAT partition
containing the EFI payload for dtb files.  But this is somewhat of a
fiction.  In reality there will be one small (V)FAT partition containing
grub (or whatever the payload may be), and a second boot partition
containing kernel/initrd/fdt (typically ext4).  It is this second
partition where we should be looking for a FDT to load.

So instead scan all the partitions of the disk containing the EFI
payload.  This matches where grub looks for kernel/initrd (barring
custom grub.cfg, in which case the user can use grub's 'devicetree'
command to load the correct FDT).

The other option is somehow passing the ${fdtfile} to grub so that it
can load the FDT based on selected kernel version location (which grub
knows) and SoC/board specific ${fdtfile} (which grub does not know).
