To what should data->os_entry be resetted in the case of non uImage? The
code above is never executed for non uImages, so data->os_entry is never
modified in this case.

data->os_entry is expected to be an offset to the image start. Your
patch sets this to an absolute address first and adjusts this to an
offset later which is quite hard to read and understand.
