I will change my patch "efi_loader: export efi_install_fdt()" to expect
a pointer to addressable memory instead of a "physical" address. This
will avoid double conversions.

The patches will not be merged into U-Boot master before the v2020.01
release on January 6th. If you send a follow up patch until then, it is
also fine.
