OF_LIST can't remain empty that's why setup it up to default DTB.
If it is empty u-boot.img is created without FDT partition:
For example:
./tools/mkimage -f auto -A arm -T firmware -C none -O u-boot -a
0x8000000 -e 0 -n "U-Boot 2016.05-rc3 ..." -E -b -d u-boot-nodtb.bin u-boot.img
Can't set 'timestamp' property for '' node (FDT_ERR_NOSPACE)
FIT description: Firmware image with one or more FDT blobs

And then image like this doesn't contain description and link to FDT and
can't boot.
