Hey Pavel,

> In other words, if there’s no fdtdir, uboot just passes the fdt_addr to bootm
> command, that means it passes the pointer to device tree loaded by firmware
> (or previous bootloader) to the kernel. If fdt_addr is also missing, it passes
> fdtcontroladdr to the kernel. If all of the previous scenarios don’t work, it
> passes no FDT and kernel boots without device tree, that is absolutely normal
> on some devices, check x86.

Thanks for the clarification,

Mathieu
