I'm willing to make this change to set the FDT address and test this. Where in 
the u-boot code should the change be made?

per this thread: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=134018
The DTB start address is size dependent. The aim is to copy the DTB as high as 
possible. Once the kernel starts it will "unflatten" the DTB into allocated 
memory and then re-use the space.

ARM memory starts at 0 in the VPU physical address space. The GPU memory sits 
at the top. This is how it works:Code: Select all
 ARMMEM_END = MEM_SIZE - GPU_MEM// Leave 64KB for GRUB
free_end = ALIGN_DOWN(ARMMEM_END - 0x10000, 0x1000)

// Leave space for initramfs, if there is one
free_end = ALIGN_DOWN(free_end - initramfs_size, 0x1000)

device_tree_address = ALIGN_DOWN(free_end - device_tree_size, 0x100)
Don't forget that the address of the DTB is passed in register r2 to the 
kernel/U-boot entry point, with r0 holding 0 and r1 being 3138 (the BCM2708 
machine id). Duncan Hare
