Subject: [PATCH] rpi: always set fdt_addr with firmware-provided FDT address

Raspberry firmware prepares the FDT blob in memory at an address
that depends on both the memory size and the blob size [1].
After commit ade243a211d6 ("rpi: passthrough of the firmware provided FDT
blob") this FDT is passed to kernel through fdt_addr environment variable,
handled in set_fdt_addr() function in board file.

When u-boot environment is persistently saved, if a change happens
in loaded FDT (e.g. for a new overlay applied), firmware produces a FDT
address different from the saved one, but u-boot still use the saved
one because set_fdt_addr() function does not overwrite the fdt_addr
variable. So, for example, if there is a script that uses fdt commands for
e.g. manipulate the bootargs, boot hangs with error

libfdt fdt_check_header(): FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC

Removing the fdt_addr variable in saved environment allows to boot.

With this patch set_fdt_addr() function always overwrite fdt_addr value.
