As FDTDIR label doesn't specify exact file to be loaded, it should
not fail if no file exists in the directory. In this case try to boot
with internal FDT if it exists.

Is it possible/sensible to distinguish between "file not found" and 
"error during retrieval"? "File not found" indicates the case you care 
about, and continuing to use a built-in DT makes sense here. "Error 
during retrieval" indicates that the file was found, and hence really 
should be use, yet couldn't be due to download failure. In this case, I 
wonder if we shouldn't outright fail this boot option, just like the 
existing code does?

But either way, I suppose this patch is reasonable.

As I see, for example from do_get_ext2(), currently it is not possible
to distinguish between "file not found" and "error during retrieval".
It seems possible to update all do_get_*() functions to check file
existence before retrieving, but it will require extensive testing and
I prefer this to be changed independently to current patch.

Tom, could you take a look at my patch during the merge window? Or
should I pass it through some custodian?

Best regards,

Sorry for the delay, applied to u-boot/next, thanks!
