Public bug reported:
The Raspberry Pi firmware can boot a Linux kernel perfectly fine with
these settings in config.txt:
kernel=vmlinuz
initramfs initrd.img followkernel
(Note that the space between "initramfs" and "initrd.img" is
intentional!)
So there's no actual need to use u-boot anymore. Also, at the moment,
there's bug #1791466 with u-boot on the Raspberry Pi 3.
Removing the u-boot bootloader and boot scripts would clean things up a
lot. Also removing that shouldn't have any effect on existing
installations because the boot script doesn't change anyways.
