U-Boot doesn't really have much of a relationship with any particular
userspace.

We use the same version to boot Android, WEC7, QNX and other O/S's.

That said, we're completely focused on Dora. As far as we can tell,
it's in much better shape on i.MX6 than Dylan.

next release. Notably, you currently need to set 'fdt_addr' and
'fdt_high' before using 3.5.7 or 3.10.9:
