I just tried. I created a dtb from the file
arch/powerpc/boot/dst/mpc8272ads.dts file.
It is not rebboting, but handling (my "run" led is switching off).

=> tftp 2000000 mpc8272ads.dtb
Using FCC1 ETHERNET device
TFTP from server 10.0.0.1; our IP address is 10.0.0.2
Filename 'mpc8272ads.dtb'.
Load address: 0x2000000

done
Bytes transferred = 4442 (115a hex)
=> bootm FF800000 FF980000 2000000
