Tom reports that adding more Kconfig options fails with
board/raspberrypi/rpi/lowlevel_init.o: in function `save_boot_params':
board/raspberrypi/rpi/lowlevel_init.S:20:(.text+0x0):
relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_LO21
against symbol `fw_dtb_pointer' defined in .data section
in board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.o
make: *** [Makefile:2029: u-boot] Error 1

Since fw_dtb_pointer lives in .data it might end up above the
+-1MB that adr can reach.
So switch over to adrp+add which has a +-4gb reach.
