SPL while copying u-boot and dtb it does the following:
- Copy u-boot
- Copy right dtb.
- mark dtb location as reserved in dtb.

Hmm, why does it do that? Reserving space when U-Boot starts Linux *might* make sense, but why should SPL add this reservation when starting U-Boot? These steps are for U-Boot in a fit-image, right? Because I can't see this for U-Boot as uImage.

Am I correct that 'fdt_shrink_to_minimum()' adds this reservation? The name of that function doesn't suggest that to me. Would it make more sense to let this funtion only *change* the reservation, i.e. only add it if it is removed at the beginning of said function? Would that fix your issue?

Something like this:

U-Boot when copying images at U-Boot prompt, is not able to copy to the
above dtb location as it sees the region as reserved. But at this stage
dtb is re located to end of DDR. And the above dtb region is not reserved
anymore. So delete this reserved region when re locating dtb.

That code should work, but it's a bit unexpected in this location

                gd->fdt_blob = gd->new_fdt;
        }
  #endif
