incorrect fdt_addr_r environment variable #18

@tpettazzoni notes in buildroot patch series:

The final patch obviously adds the Beagle-V defconfig and related files themselves. A slight annoyance is that the bootloader pre-flashed on the board doesn't work as-is, just due to an incorrect fdt_addr_r environment variable value. So reflashing the bootloader with what has been built by Buildroot is necessary (but is trivial to do using Xmodem).

Erico Nunes replied:

I would like to try this but I have some questions: Are you able to still boot the reference Fedora image after flashing the custom bootloader? Also, if it is just a matter of updating fdt_addr_r, could it just be updated in the u-boot environment instead? And finally, should that be reported as an issue in the starfive u-boot so maybe they can release another build with that fixed?

I am opening issue to track if the SPI flash should be changed in future board production.
