I'd personally be tempted to set fdt_high=0xffffffff,
initrd_high=0xffffffff to stop U-Boot copying the DT/initrd from the
load location to some other location under 256M, but that's just an
optimization and entirely optional.
There has been quite a few times where using 0xffffff has caused
issues.
What kind of issues?
At least for Tegra, I've carefully chosen the values for the various
load addresses so that there won't be issues. (Without that I can
easily see the potential for issues.) I've seen far more repeated
problems when U-Boot moves the DT/initrd around than than when it
didn't (none in that case). Besides, it's completely redundant and
unnecessary work if the blobs are already loaded at sane addresses,
which they are on Tegra at least.
Just how large of a kernel have you thrown on a Tegra? 32MB might seem
reasonable at first but it wouldn't be overly surprised if someone can
shove a BSS into there. I know I shoved DT into 128MB by default
because a 32bit ARM kernel isn't functional at that size.
There's enough space for the following:
16M decompressed kernel
16M compressed kernel
1M DTB
The kernel I typically boot is ~4.MB zImage, and ~9MB Image (which
doesn't include BSS).
Note that if the decompressed/compressed kernel overlap, the kernel
decompresser takes care of relocating the compressed kernel before doing
the decompression, and IIRC is supposed to take care not to clobber the
DTB (or initrd?) when doing so.
Fedora's rawhide zImage is a bit larger at ~6MB. That works fine too.
