In what way is this required for distro_bootcmd to work? At least in the
past I've tested qemu_arm64_defconfig and EFI boot with the Fedora
netinst image and it has worked fine in stock U-Boot.

Note that these '-machine virt' based targets are slightly different
from real hardware in the sense that instead of loading a .dtb file
provided by the OS, the device tree is provided by QEMU. In the hunk
below you can see "fdt_addr=0x40000000\0" providing the address of
the QEMU-provided device tree which the distro scripts should be
using.

I guess in principle having ${fdt_addr_r} set as well shouldn't hurt and
might be used for testing/unusual purposes. Glancing at cmd/pxe.c,
there is a problem though, in that if ${fdt_addr_r} were defined, a PXE
file using the FDTDIR directive would attempt loading a dtb file named
"<NULL>-qemu-arm.dtb" instead of falling back to using ${fdt_addr}.
That bug would need to be fixed first before applying this patch.
