Correct. Personally I prefer 1), since it makes the Linux ports easier. No bootwrapper is needed in this case. And all the "infrastructure" for fdt enabled U-Boot images for 4xx is available. Please take a look at sequoia.c/.h and search for CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT. Just let me know if this is not clear or if you have additional questions.
