U-Boot configured via DTB can use the same DTB for booting the kernel. When OF_CONTROL is used fdtcontroladdr is setup and can be use for boot.

Didn't check if there is any side effect or not but it looks weird when you have DT driver u-boot that you have to load dtb again.
I agree, and I think it's very reasonable to try and use the same device tree for U-Boot and Linux.
I'm not sure it's a great idea to check for the builtin device tree after ATAGs though. Shouldn't we prefer the built-in one over ATAGs?
No problem to do it. The reason why I have done it in this way was not to change behavior for existing platforms.
u-boot is also doing some automatic updates which can require fdt resize but I didn't check if resize can be done in that space where build-in dtb is.
Thanks, Michal
