> EFI code is using copy_fdt() which copy FDT to different location.
> And all boot commands in case of using U-Boot's FDT pointed by
> $fdtcontroladdr are copying FDT to different locations by
> image_setup_libfdt().
> That's why in proper flow none should modified DTB used by U-Boot that's
> why there is no need for additional space.
