Mark's and Dzmitry's approaches come down to the same thing.. Let's unify them by first removing the static keyword from the common file to allow the variable to be reused, then renaming "reg0" to the more sensible fw_dtb_pointer coming from the Apple file and finally remove the mach-apple implementation of this very thing and enable the common approach in the respective defconfig.
Only build-tested.

Perhaps we could start using a bloblist (in preparation for the coming Firmware Handoff [1] [2]) to pass information between stages?
We don't have TPL or SPL on these machines, only U-Boot proper. And the handoff protocol between m1n1 and U-Boot is defined by [3]. I have zero interest in changing that and my guess is that Hector Martin feels the same.
This has nothing to do with TPL, nor SPL. It is a way of communicating between projects.
I hope you can both find the time and inclination to support firmware standardisation as it evolves.
Projects need to work together.
