The Odroid devices are community supported and we essentially just
build the upstream U-Boot. I suspect you actually need to use the
odroid-xu3 target rather than odroid one. I would think that there
would be some detection logic to select the right device tree as
there's a number of devices supported with a single U-Boot target.

Overall the odroid devices are community/best effort support as the
upstream isn't particularly great, don't engage and doing things
pretty hostile to open source. We can't support them OOTB because
there's non redistributable binaries needed and I'm not aware of any
of the core arm team that actually have any of their devices.
