So you need to look at the am335x_evm as an example here.  We switch to
a FIT image of U-Boot so that we provide N dtb files and select the
correct one to pass to U-Boot from SPL.  Within SPL we use platform data
instead of the DTB so that we can still fit within size constrains but
achieve the same thing.
