OK, this is actually due to the changes between u-boot-menu 4.0.1ubuntu0.1 and 4.0.2ubuntu5~20.04.1. The relevant difference is that the menu entry now has `fdtdir /lib/firmware/5.8.0-29-generic/device-tree/` (or similar) when it previously didn't load a device tree at all.

I successfully worked around this by adding the following to `/etc/default/u-boot`:

    # XXX cjwatson 2021-08-24: Revert to old (nonexistent) default, since using
    # the device tree in /lib/firmware/ results in an image that fails to boot.
