For imx6q-sabreauto example,

setenv loadaddr 0x12000000
setenv fdtaddr 0x18000000
setenv fdt_file imx6q-sabreauto.dtb

setenv bootcmd 'tftpboot zImage; tftpboot ${fdtaddr} ${fdt_file}; fdt addr ${fdtaddr}; run select_${devsel}; bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}'

setenv select_gpmi 'fdt set /soc/aips-bus@02000000/spba-bus@02000000/ecspi@02008000 status disabled; fdt set /soc/aips-bus@02100000/serial@021e8000 status disabled; fdt set /soc/gpmi-nand@00112000 status okay'
setenv select_ecspi '...'
setenv select_serial '...'

You can have all above environments defined in U-Boot mx6qsabreauto.h
at compile time.  Then at runtime, you only need the following two
commands to boot kernel with the device that you want.

U-Boot > setenv devsel gpmi
U-Boot > boot
