In this very interesting post, 
http://beagleboard.org/discuss?place=topic%2Fbeagleboard%2FjnfNZIIC1V8%2Fdiscussion,

Robert said:   

".. The Device Tree Binaries get appended to u-boot.img, luckly we really 
don't use them, as we just grab the kernel version.."


I don't quite yet grasp the full extent of what this statement means...


Q) But do the current u-boot and/or SPL for BeagleBone/BeagleBoard scan the 
device tree to setup hardware for either both SPL/u-boot or is everything 
mainly done through the static functions in board.c?

I grepped on "CONFIG_OF_CONTROL" in my patched u-boot tree (2017.01 - 
patched a couple of months ago). This is set to "y" in the defconfig, but I 
couldn't find any of the functions (e.g. sh_serial_ofdata_to_platdata) 
sandwiched within this define in u-boot.map, granted that was about the 
extent to which I looked.

Thanks!!

Jeff
