No problem.
First I've used zImage (instead of uImage) without your patch: The kernel
started.
Additionally I've applied your patch: The kernel started as well.
Now I tried the suggested change from Uwe(*): The kernel started as well.

So, it seems that your patch doesn't break the kernel start.

Best regards,
 Rolf

(*) I assume that I had to use 'header->start' instead of the unknown parameter
'start'.
    Otherwise I was not able to compile the barebox.
