Thanks for that. But actually that is not something I have seen or can
explain. Here it is reading the DT at the start and somehow failing in
the check. That DT is created by the U-Boot build system. Is it
possible that your system has its own libfdt installed?

As it happened, the pylibfdt changes have been applied upstream today,
so I'll prepare a patch to sync U-Boot up with that. Hopefully that
will resolve any issues, but I am not sure.

Simon
