In this case uboot does load the target DTB, and it seems a common
function in rockchips
downstream boot process, see :

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/u-boot/blob/ef1dd650042f61915c4859ecc94623a09a3529fa/arch/arm/mach-rockchip/kernel_dtb.c#L70

It's a pretty nasty process, but unfortunately some devices will be
stuck with it I guess, and in
those cases they will have issues booting a mainline kernel.
