LOADADDR is always set. Given the following in Makefile.boot:

zreladdr-$(CONFIG_ARCH_MX1)     := 0x08008000
zreladdr-$(CONFIG_MACH_MX21)    := 0xC0008000
zreladdr-$(CONFIG_ARCH_MX25)    := 0x80008000
zreladdr-$(CONFIG_MACH_MX27)    := 0xA0008000

LOADADDR ends up being 0xA0008000 when all of the above are enabled.
Another idea I had was to replace the := with += so that we can
count the words in zreladdr-y and bail out if we have multiple
zreladdrs. I haven't really followed this approach as it means adjusting
all Makefile.boot.

CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR=y also does not necessarily mean that the resulting
uImage will not work. In the above example the image will work on i.MX27
