U-Boot currently tells it to load.

Not really

Not currently but I'm working to have that work for Fedora 29.
Basically at the moment it uses a kernel provided DT which is loaded
and passed to the kernel by U-Boot. My plan for F-29 (I was hoping it
would actually be in F-28 but there was issues and I don't have the
time to finish it) is to use the firmware to load a "upstream kernel"
DT which then uses the dtoverlay configurations bits in config.txt
which the RPi firmware mashes them all together as a single DT and
passes it to U-Boot which in turn passes it onto the kernel enabling
us to use support HATs.

I believe all the bits are now in place (firmware, U-Boot etc) and I
just need to apply some config and test to make sure it all works, and
falls back to the current way if there's not bits specified.
