Hello,
U-Boot doesn't honor the load address of uInitrd images but just places it
somewhere in RAM. So it's sensible to let barebox not being more strict
than U-Boot.
This makes it possible to boot a Debian system on an i.MX53 Loco board
with the setup prepared by flash-kernel. That uInitrd uses a load
address of 0x0 where there is nothing on i.MX53.
This series contains an additional cleanup. I'm not 100% sure it's ok
though. Is it intended that UIMAGE_SOME_ADDRESS being passed to bootm
not being used literally? Should I squash the cleanup in the other
commit? Also a similar simplification might be possible for the load
address of the uImage.
