[U-Boot] Rockchip RK3288 u-boot with mainline kernel

Hi All,

I've got unsupported RK3288 hardware running the latest git u-boot to
SPL as explained in
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=doc/README.rockchip. My goal
is to run the mainline (ie. not Android) Linux kernel on this hardware
and wondered:

- Do I need to get the latest git u-boot to run before I can run the
mainline kernel? Or can I use
github.com/linux-rockchip/u-boot-rockchip.git, which I have running
u-boot fully.

- The device tree seems to be in two places, once via:

resource_tool --image=resource2.img --pack linux/logo.bmp ${DTS}.dtb

that gets put into the resource file and then again at the end of the
kernel via CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB. Do I need both? When I do both
I get things like:

....
Unknow param: MACHINE_MODEL:rk30sdk!
Unknow param: MACHINE_ID:007!
....

Thanks much for any help.
