U-Boot will tell the user if the DT does not match. I added code to
U-Boot to do that. So if you have a 36-bit U-Boot and a 32-bit DT, then
you will get a warning. If you have a 36-bit U-boot and a 36-bit DT and a
32-bit kernel, you will get nothing. But if you have a 32-bit U-boot and
a 32-bit DT and a 36-bit kernel, then that will work. A 36-bit kernel
works with 32-bit *and* 36-bit DTs. This is why a 36-bit kernel should be
the default.
