This change is currently in the next branch, but Ok.

Ok.

Because the barebox cannot use address 0 (NOR MTD in my case), the bus driver
scans for devices that start at zero address and maps them to a
different unused address.
To start the kernel, a fixup is used that rewrites the address of the
patched device to its original state.
