Is this really specific to this board/soc? I think there are lots of
MIPS boards in this state. The code to handle all the possible
combinations of bootloader handoff information and sources of DTB is
quite the mess. Just for DTB source you have bootloader DTB, appended
DTB, or built-in DTB (and there's even logic if you have multiple of
those). Contrast that to arm32 ('the zoo"), where you have 2 choices:
bootloader DTB or appended DTB with legacy bootloader parameters
transferred to DTB. All the uglyness is contained and the kernel boot
deals with 1 possibility. </rant>
