From: Jami Kettunen <jami.kettu...@protonmail.com> Currently booting a mainline Linux kernel via extlinux with fdtdir set doesn't load a proper DTB but passes on the U-Boot one to the kernel which as far as I know is very incorrect and prevents user (normally distro) provided DTB usage in a sensible/generic way.
A uEnv.txt or similar manual environment changes were not used and should not be required to boot the board as per: https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/distro.html This also currently needs a kernel patch[1] for my board to have the full 8GB of memory available to Linux instead of just 4GB it shows with these patches alone.
