The U-Boot documentation explains that variables ending with "_r" hold addresses in DRAM, while those without that ending point to flash/ROM. The default variables for the Juno board pointing to the kernel and DTB load addresses were not complying with this scheme: they lack the extension, but point to DRAM. This is particularly confusing since the Juno board features parallel NOR flash, so there *is* a memory mapped NOR address holding a DTB, for instance. Fix the variables to use the proper names, changing initrd_addr to ramdisk_addr_r on the way, which seems to be more prevelant and documented. On the way adjust the FDT load address to be situated *before* the kernel, since users happened to overwrite the DTB by the kernel clearing its .BSS section during initialisation. Also remove the fdt_high and initrd_high variables (which were set to -1), to allow U-Boot moving those images around. This should avoid many problems in the future, but breaks loading Linux kernels < v4.2, since they expect the DTB to be loaded in the same 512MB region as the kernel. If you need to load such an old kernel, please set fdt_high to either 0xffffffffffffffff or 0xa0000000 (if you load the kernel to the beginning of DRAM). That fixes loading debug kernels, which happened to overwrite the DTB on certain setups.
