Hi Stefan,

Currently, I can build "zImage" for Sequoia using the powerpc
architecture, and load it using U-Boot without a separate FDT binary.
Is this the best way to run a Linux from the powerpc tree?

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

There are two way to boot a Linux image from arch/powerpc.

1) build a uImage and get u-boot to pass a device tree blob (if your u-boot had device tree support)
2) build a cuImage which wraps the device tree in the kernel image.

Cheers,
