Make it using kernel, dtb and initramfs specified in extlinux/extlinux.conf on boot partition instead of boot.img.
extlinux supports 2 ways of specifying dtb: fdt /something.dtb
and fdtdir /dtbs
. The last one assumes bootloader (lk2nd in our case) to select correct dtb from the directory, and this would allow us to make generic ports or a generic installer for multiple SoCs like I want with chrome os devices
This way we would be consistent with syslinux and U-Boot.
See https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/distro.html?highlight=extlinux#boot-configuration-files, also see
