It's been in Linux since v5.15, though there is going to be some flux between U-Boot and Linux for a short while as some devices will be introduced into one or the other other first.
e.g traverse,ten64-controller does not and will not have a Linux (kernel) counterpart but I'll try and get it added to the dt yaml's for validation.

(The upstream DTS intentionally left out some I2C devices that don't have Linux drivers or formal DT bindings yet)

This actually comes about from fsl_setenv_bootcmd:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/latest/source/arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/soc.c#L800
Which gets hooked into board_late_init
https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/latest/source/arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/soc.c#L961

The main reason I understand that exists is because the secure boot (FSL trust architecture) setup differs a depending on where the board has booted from:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/latest/source/include/configs/ls1088ardb.h#L448
(There is also a similar issue with mcinitcmd which does affect us)

Since trust architecture isn't supported on our board yet, it just collapses down to "run distro_bootcmd" regardless of where the board started from.

I guess this behaviour could be hidden behind a Kconfig so it's opt-in?
