Yes, the uImage_probe() expects (const unsigned char *) as the first
argument.

If the ramdisk doesn't have uImage header, the slurp_ramdisk_ppc()
defaults to the original behaviour. i.e, it just does a slurp_file()
as it used to do earlier.

Did you mean, uImage_load() shouldn't do a decompression for ramdisk ?
We rely on uImage_load to get what is required.

Thanks for the detailed review.
