When the user did not pass any device tree or the boot script didn't find any, let's use the system device tree as last resort to get something the payload (Linux) may understand.
This means that on systems that use the same device tree for U-Boot and Linux we can just share it and there's no need to manually provide a device tree in the target image.
While at it, also copy and pad the device tree by 64kb to give us space for modifications.

It definitely avoids a warning message. However, it does not always allow Linux to actually boot, e.g. on jetson-tk1 (patch sent).
We could give the user a warning in the fallback case as well, but ideally I'd like to move to a model where all device trees really are interchangable and work with every component. So then we would warn the user about the preferred default case. I'm not sure that's a great idea.
