The environment section in include/configs/rpi.h needs to be updated.
You cannot disable device tree relocation by default as that leads to
problems.  You need to set bootm_size to something that will cover all
of the valid lowmem area the device tree and initrd can reside in.
Please see include/configs/ti_armv7_common.h which is based on what the
kernel documents as minimum / maximum values / locations.  Thanks.
