For new architectures, I think it's better to not support built-in dtb
but instead require the
boot loader to be aware of device trees.

ae3xx looks like a wildcard name for multiple boards. Please always
have compatible
names without wildcards. You usually also want to list both the SoC
and the board
here.

Remove the earlyprintk option from the bootargs here, regular boards
should never rely
on earlyprintk. The "earlycon" support in the uart drivers works
almost as well (it starts
slightly later in the boot process), and it will pick up the uart from
the chosen/stdout-path
property.

What is the 8KB limit for the dtb for? This sounds really limiting
once you get to
more complex SoCs.
