Now it's up to somebody else to decide if the price difference between
a G20 and G25 is worth the engineering time to upgrade U-Boot and
Linux kernel to versions that know about device trees...

Interesting.  That would still require modifying U-Boot so that at
run-time it detects the SoC type and appends the proper DTB to the
kernel image, but it that may be less work than "real" DTB support in
U-Boot.

The idea of that feature is:

- You take the kernel zImage
- You take the appropriate dtb file
- You concatenate the dtb file into the zImage
- You run mkimage on the resulting combined image to create the special
  uboot format file for uboot to load
- You use it with uboot as you have done in the past with non-DT kernels.
