[PATCH] bootm: include origin of device tree in verbose output

[PATCH] bootm: include origin of device tree in verbose output

[Ahmad Fatoum]

To make it easier to see at a glance if the device tree to be passed to
Linux is barebox' own or an externally provided DT, include this
information into verbosity level 1.

Previously we only printed "using internal devicetree" at verbosity
level 2, but that's the same level we dump the whole DT, so we bump it
down a level and rename it to make it clear what the DT is internal to
(e.g. it's not a FIT-internal DT).
