Hi Paolo,

I know this is just more bike-shed painting.. But any reason why the
mainline kernel location was not chosen: ( i know fedora is one of the
main drives behind fixing u-boot (distro defaults), so there location
makes sense.. )

from: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DeviceTreeConsolidation

kernel make install
/boot/dtbs/$(uname -r)

fedora
/boot/dtb-$(uname -r)

Debian
/usr/lib/linux-image-$(uname -r)

Regards,
