Do not use dtb loaded by firmware if fit image signature is enabled.
So that u-boot.dtb can be used. The u-boot.dtb contains the pulibc key
that is to verify Linux kernel FIT image blob.

The u-boot.dtb can be loaded by Arm Trusted Firmware(ATF) together
with u-boot.bin to make sure the key is protected by ATF.

I don't think I fully understand what you're trying to do here. If ATF 
loads U-Boot as well as the DT, ATF can pass the DT to U-Boot which then 
ends up as $fdtaddr. If you enable CONFIG_OF_BOARD, it even becomes the 
input DT for U-Boot.

Hiding the fdtfile variable name doesn't sound like it solves anything 
to me?

Current usage is that pack u-boot.dtb to u-boot-nodtb.bin so that
u-boot can find
device tree in the end if u-boot binary. This saves separate signing
to u-boot.dtb in
ATF. Do you see any benefit to load u-boot.dtb separately and feed
$fdtaddr to u-boot?

The main reason that is a useful scenario is that you can do 
modifications in upper layers that propagate. We use it for example to 
allow people to add dt overlays via config.txt, but you could as well 
use it to expose changes from ATF into U-Boot (and Linux from there).
