[PATCH v3 5/5] rpi: Use the U-Boot control FDT for fdt_addr

[Simon Glass]

The fdt_addr variable is used in extlinux as a fallback devicetree if
none is provided by the boot command.

The existing mechanism uses the devicetree provided to U-Boot, but in
its original, unrelocated position. For the rpi_4 I am using, this is
at 2b35ef00 which is not a convenient place in memory, if the ramdisk
is large.

U-Boot already deals with this sort of problem by relocating the FDT
to a safe address.

So use the control-FDT address instead.

Remove the existing comment, which is confusing, since the FDT is not
actually passed unmodified to the kernel: U-Boot adds various things
using its FDT-fixup mechanism.

Note that board_get_usable_ram_top() reduces the RAM top for boards with
less RAM. This behaviour is left unchanged as there is no other
mechanism for U-Boot to handle this.

In version 2, it incorporates some changes to fdt_addr, etc. suggested
by Tom, as well as adding myself as a maintainer.

Changes in v2:
- Drop patch to allow expanding the devicetree during relocation
