+Subject: [PATCH] spl: Align device tree blob address at 8-byte boundary
+
+Since libfdt v1.6.1, a new requirement on the device tree address via:
+
+  commit 5e735860c478 ("libfdt: Check for 8-byte address alignment in fdt_ro_probe_()")
+
+must be met that the device tree must be loaded in to memory at an
+8-byte aligned address.
