For framebuffer support you also need the "30bpp framebuffer support"
series I posted earlier:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=262617

With that your should get the usual U-Boot output on the screen.  I've
not tested the Air, but it should work there.

I'll probably post a v2 of that series this weekend as I fixed the EFI
GOP support with the help of Heinrich.  But that shouldn't matter for
U-Boot itself.

Regarding the device tree, I was afraid that setting
CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE would make the distroboot commands try to
load a device tree from disk before loading the EFI bootloader, but it
looks I was mistaken there.  It still is a little bit pointless to
build the device tree and a u-boot.bin that includes it, but if that
makes you happier, I'll add it to the series.

Cheers,

Mark
