Yes, the distro boot scripts shouldn't be using $fdtfile unconditionally 
since it's not guaranteed to be set. The model is that boot scripts 
determine the FDT filename, and $fdtfile is an optional override.

It looks like the hard-coded use of $fdtfile was added into the EFI 
path, which I didn't get to review, and which shouldn't be enabled by 
default but unfortunately is.
