Removing "fdt_high=0xffffffff" from board environments

Hey all,
Relatively recently it's been highlighted that a number of boards are
disabling relocation of the device tree image in memory and this in turn
leading to various difficult to resolve bugs. At heart, disabling
device tree relocation at boot is something that should be used in rare
circumstances (and more generally fdt_high / initrd_high set to where
they are already residing in memory, as a known, correct and aligned
address).
I would like to ask everyone to update their board config file to use
the bootm_size (or set CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ) to the amount of memory
(size, not location) available to safely contain a kernel, device tree
and initrd for relocation. Thanks all!
