fdt: Add support for a separate device tree (CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE)
This adds support for an FDT to be build as a separate binary file called
u-boot.dtb. This can be concatenated with the U-Boot binary to provide a
device tree located at run-time by U-Boot. The Makefile is modified to
provide this file in u-boot-dtb.bin.
