Right you are, fixed locally.

Indeed, it shouldn't wipe a saved $fdtfile. Fixed locally with adding 
this hunk to the start of the function:
+	if (env_get("fdtfile"))
+		return 0;

CC'ed Baruch, since I looked at the clearfog implementation which has 
the same bug.

It would be possible to avoid the above runtime detection and just add:
"fdtfile=marvell/" CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE ".dtb\0"
to CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS instead. But for that, the u-boot dtb 
variants need to match Linux', which they currently do not.

I posted a set which adds "-emmc.dts". But "-v7.dts" and "v7-emmc.dts" 
are still missing here, and I don't think it makes sense to add them, 
because all they're doing is relabeling the switch ports.

Or maybe it's desired to have all dts files from Linux here too, even 
though we technically don't need a binary for each board?
