Not exactly. =A0In this case the bootwrapper will be built with an FDT

information from the BDInfo before booting the kernel proper.
...but if you have any sort of choice, save yourself some trouble and
enable FDT support in u-boot.  Then you don't need to muck about with
problematic bd_info structures.
