[PATCH v2 4/7] linux: ignore FDT unless we need to modify it

[Nikita Ermakov]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@arm.com>

Now that we implemented supported for the LoadFile2 protocol for initrd
loading, there is no longer a need to pass the initrd parameters via
the device tree. This means there is no longer a reason to update the
device tree in the first place, and so we can ignore it entirely.

The only remaining reason to deal with the devicetree is if we are
using the 'devicetree' command to load one from disk, so tweak the
logic in grub_fdt_install() to take that into account.
